I would go with this and put the money saved into a good dac/amp combo, sound cards are not really a thing anymore because they suck and are expensive. Unless you get some really nice speakers you can't hear the difference on a sound card, and at that point you'd want to get a dac and powered speakers (amp needed for passive), which is only slightly more than the sound card but much better. Also, no real reason to get the 9700k when the 9600k should do about the same in games and be much cheaper and way better on thermals (better OC headroom). Also, you can get add a wifi card in there if you want but I don't recommend the in-board ones if you're looking for long range, you'll want one that comes with long wired external antennas. The NVME drive should be much better than the normal one performance wise, I've used crucial and they work great, plus less clutter and less cables to run.

Quick edit- I also recommend using Krynaut on both the CPU and GPU (replace OEM crap) I recently redid my friends PC with it and his temps dropped a good bit over his old paste and it's non conductive. Avoid conductive pastes.
