It's ok, but you can significantly optimize it.
change cpu i5-8600k -> i7-8700 (gives hyperthreading, better performance in multi-threaded workloads),
motherboard - you have selected rather expensive model. You can significantly save on this,
change graphics card GTX 1660 -> GTX 1660 ti (significantly better performance).

I have another question, should I go for the ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming or just ASRock Z390 motherboard you mentioned in the pcpartpicker list?

ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming ITX is a bit more expensive.
But if you're ok with that, then sure.

I personally don't like Asus so i do not have ideas about them. Your pc build is a kunst! Why don't try MSI?

A single 250G drive is TooSmall if that is the only drive.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

The 8700x system is good, but the 3600 beats the i7 in games and saves money allowing you to get a better gpu. Spending the extra money on the gpu will allow you to get much better performance.

You really don't want to spend on a motherboard more money than on the CPU.. unless you really need a specific feature.
Get a cheaper and good one and spend the rest for a better GFX

I am a bit picky about AMD, maybe it's my personal preference. But I will consider that option as well. Thank you.

I did consider, MSI - MPG Z390I GAMING EDGE AC Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard. But later I found out that it doesn't have any heat sink for M.2 and still $160 price tag.

I have a Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive. That's for my os and programs.

Actually, I need a system with Intel+nvidia combo for my deep learning workstation.

I have plan to upgrade the cpu to 9 series and use the current one to make a cluster in the future. Thank you for your suggestions.
