Hi, So after searching and talking to people online, I've finally chosen my components.....Below are them -

I only want someone to please take a look and give me green/red flag about this build..... 1st time building so need someone experienced to make sure that all of below listed components are compatible with each other and there won't be any heat issues or any other while gaming 1080 60 ,
Note - I can't increase anything coz my budget for 1 Lakh (INR) (1337$ in USD) has been maxed out already.......Thanks very much.....
Also, I've a doubt with one product (cooler Master MasterAir MA610P ) , I've seen a few vids on YT which claim that cooler master products especially cpu coolers stop working in 1-2 years.... Is it true or is it dust or lack of (ups, power surge connector), dust, ESD, etc.... Or do these coolers go bad even without any of these things happening to them?

Long question, sorry for that, but you know the amounts of doubts & queries when building 1st time......

  1. Processor - Intel Core I5-9600K
  2. CPU Cooler - Cooler Master MasterAir MA610P
  3. Motherboard - Msi MAG B365M Mortar
  4. GPU - Msi GTX 1660 Gaming X 6GB
  5. PSU - Thermaltake TOUGHPOWER GRAND RGB 750W Gold
  6. Cabinet - Cooler Master MasterCase H500 (Iron Grey) Link - https://mdcomputers.in/cooler-master-mastercase-h500-iron-grey-mcm-h500-ignn-s00.html
  7. RAM - G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16GB (8GBx2) DDR4 3000MHz
  8. HDD - Seagate 2TB Barracuda 7200 RPM ( NO SSD Please, I already tried but gets out of the budget) and I don't want cheaper ssd's.
  9. Monitor - LG 24MP59G
  10. Speakers - LG XBOOM, BOOM BLAST Link - https://www.lg.com/in/home-entertainment/lg-LK72B

Thanks for your valuable time which you're giving to solve my doubts......
 
Can you get a Ryzen 3600 or 3600x for similar price to the 9600k? Personally I don’t like the low number of threads of the 9th generation i5’s, they are being pushed very hard in some games already. I know budget is an issue but getting a 9600k and a B365 board means you cannot overclock which is the main feature of a ‘k’ cpu.

For psu I’d prefer a higher quality 450 or 550w

yeah, but I'm not looking forward to overclock the cpu.... So I guess it'd be fine then?? what do u think?
btw, ryzen 3600x is exact same price as 9600k right now from where I'm buying (mdcomputers.in)... with same base n turbo speeds, but 12 threads

Also, PSU is already 750W as i listed above, So this would be fine too.... are u talking about platinum series?

Everything else is fine? So can I go with this? Also, please take a look at my starting question about cooler master products... need some advice on that too

Looking over your specs the only thing I see wrong is the SSD thing. I know you are saying you have an unyielding budget, but you would be much better off for 20 or thirty bucks more going to a 500 gb Samsung evo 970 than getting the extras space with a rust drive. I cannot stress how much faster any computer runs with an SSD vs a spin drive. If you are worried about space run it until you run out and upgrade later or add a spin drive for storage at that time.
 
Perhaps this would be a better option:
