Hey, building my first PC. I have done some research and landed on the below build. I would like to know what kind of cooling and case will it require. Also any suggestions ragarding my current build would also be appreciated!

I'd avoid the CV units. CX, is good but a tier above that would leave you set for a long while. As for the rams, why are you picking two individual sticks of ram,? Go for a dual channel ram kit(that come matched from the factory). The stock cooler that the processor comes with will be fine. For your chassis, how much have you allocated towards it's purchase?

You could look at this cooler;
if you really wanted to get something beefy.

IMHO, I'd opt to get an i5 processor that wasn't a K or F suffix, so you have an iGPU in the event you need to troubleshoot display issues when on the discrete GPU. As of now, if your discrete GPU is faulty/failing, you will need to source another discrete GPU.
