why a 120mm radiator?
I mean if u have a small case,ok then,but if you have room for a 240mm one (or a bigger one),always buy the 240mm (or the bigger one ) since it will be much better for cooling your procesor.
120mm radiator ussually isnt enough,especially if you will be overclocking.
240mm radiator is kinda like a sweet spot,for most budget options.
The ram is good,if you dont want rgb,i understand that.
The SSD is top notch.
The only problem i see here is the radiator.

I wanted a 240mm one, but I wasn't sure if it would fit the case, like Im very new to PC building and parts, do you think a 240mm one would fit, with the ram and the ssd?

When you are looking to buy a new cpu cooler,always look at the case first.Check the dimensions of the case (not by hand,the dimensions will be on the case manufacturers site),and of the cooler you want to put in it.For Air coolers you look at the case max supported cpu cooler height and width,lenght isnt ussually a problem.Most standard ATX cases support air coolers up to like 170-165mm height.For liquid coolers (AIO's) you look at the fan slots.Ussually if the case support lets say 2x120mm fans at the front,that means it support 240mm radiators (2x120=240).Infact,ill make it easy for u,what is the exact make/model of your case,ill go check it out and tell you the exact cooling posibilities of it.

This is the exact name of the case AEROCOOL Cylon RGB Tempered Glass Mid Tower Case.

You case supports air coolers to max 155mm height.
Your case only supports 120mm liquid coolers at the front.
I suggest you go with a good quality air cooler instead of a 120mm aio.
Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Mugen-Rev-CPU-Cooler-Support/dp/B06ZYB8K77
It has a height of 154,5mm which fits perfectly in your case.

Thank you for the help! But overall would you say it would be better to possibly even get a better case, for the 240mm or are some of the 120mm coolers good enough to do the job?

1. All of these parts will work fine together but there are a few recommendations. 2 the ram, 3200 is typically the sweet spot for ram and Intel doesn’t benefit as much as ryzen from fast ram so going with 3200 could save you a little bit of money. 3 the aio is smaller but I’m guessing your not over clocking so that will be fine but if you end up overclocking consider getting a bigger aio, for $40 usd you can upgrade to a 240, although I don’t know what it’s like in euros.

Im unsure whether to overclock, so I think going with the exact specs, but a better more spacious case, might be the better call. someone did tell me before that with the i7 9700k, I should be overclocking it, not 100% sure if he's right but it is an option(with the better aio, of course).

Try it,there are tons of guides on how to safelly overclock that cpu,it will only benefit you.

You did pay extra for a overclockable cpu so I would research and figure out how to overclock.

I was going to overclock today, but I didn't think it would help my current gaming performance because some of my specs arent great atm. my ram speeds are slow and the fan that I have shown in the pc part picker is my current fan. which is the main reason I didn't bother overclocking.

"Pinhedd: "Both IBT and Prime95 are similar in that they stress floating point arithmetic and memory subsystems. They are different in that IBT uses Linpack (solving linear equations) while Prime95 calculates Mersene Primes.
IBT is generally regarded as being far more aggressive in the short term, which makes it great for testing ultimate stability. IBT will easily drive load temps up to 20 degrees higher than Prime95, this is well known and is a defining feature of the program.
Unfortunately, the Linpack benchmark was designed for supercomputers (hence the floating point part, for modeling continuous phenomenon) so it really pushes desktops to the limit, far beyond what any application will do. This means that IBT may fail on commercial CPUs that are running at stock settings simply because Intel doesn't test them to that extent.

I see, how can I check the temp while the test is going? have no idea about this type of thing
