Woh 64 cores. Lol that is over kill. I would recommend AMD 3700x. That has enough power for what you need and then some still top end performance.
I too went with a case with a single DVD bay. Cause I still use Blu-rays. It has a glass side room for my 240 mm radiator. It's a Couger MX 330 it's nothing fancy looking but great for me.
Funny thing I got most of everything from Micro Center as well. Minuses my gpu,case, and fans all the rest was from newegg.
On thing I would add is go with the M.2 ssd. Get two one small one 100-200gb for boot ups. And another 1tb for storage. That's way faster than 2.5" ssd.
I have a single 1tb M.2 ssd and it takes just 35 seconds from off to watching a YouTube vid.
Oh that ram kit, that CL speed you want something faster than 19. If you can CL 14 speed is the way to go, but 15/16 speeds are better than CL 19. (Lower is better).
Oh can I convince you on an all in one water cooler? Unless you love fans.
That's my rig.
