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.

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.
