This was the original idea but if people have a better idea any advice would be nice

 

[Why_Me]

A few changes. Better psu, better board imo, better cooler, and a rear exhaust fan for that case.

Only amendment I'd make (if you can afford the extra) would be better DRAM:

If you are buying new, buy current 13th gen processor.
$200 I5-13400 performs similarly, $250 13500 performs better.

H100 aio is useless, not even as good as a simple 120mm air cooler at half the price.
13400 and 13500 come with a stock cooler.
I would try that our first.
If you want better cooling, Noctua has quality air coolers.
Here is their suitability list for the i5-13500:

Intel Core i5-13500 | CPU Compatibility | Noctua Compatibility Centre

Series: Raptor Lake-S, Socket: LGA 1700

NH-U12s is a good choice:

Considering how cheap ssd devices are these days, and how big games can get, I would buy a 2tb m.2 up front.
A 2tb Intel 670p is $70:

Intel 670p Series M.2 2280 2TB PCIe 3.0 x4, NVMe 3D4 QLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDPEKNU020TZX1 - Newegg.com

Buy Intel 670p Series M.2 2280 2TB PCIe 3.0 x4, NVMe 3D4 QLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDPEKNU020TZX1 with fast shipping and top-rated customer service. Once you know, you Newegg!

I like the phanteks case.

On the psu, you may want to allow for a future graphics upgrade.
To that end, look for a 850w psu with at least a 7 year warranty.
Corsair RMx or Seasonic focus for example.
