Provided your PSU is decent, this config is better and cheaper.
 
You could build as is.

I have some thoughts:

1. I5-8400 comes with a stock cooler that will do the job. No need for the cryorig H7.

2. I like the idea of buying a Z370 based motherboard to permit the future upgrade to a overclockable K suffix processor.

3. There is no advantage to 4 sticks of ram. Dual channel is as good as you can do. It is harder for a motherboard to manage 4 sticks. Buy a 2 x 8gb kit.
Speed does not matter.

4. GTX1060 is an appropriate graphics card. Be aware that the 6gb version has additional CUDA cores and is a stronger graphics card.

I'd wait and ask this question about a week or so before ordering parts as choices may change and what may seem like the best choice now may change when your ready to buy.
