This build is solid for keeping it under $900, except one thing imo.
I'd definitely look in the direction of getting a solid state drive. If you replace the RAM in your config with SKU 348201 (G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB (2x8), that should shave about $50 off the RAM and you can replace the 2TB HDD with a Samsung 1TB SSD instead. The processor also comes with a stealth cooler already with pre-applied thermal paste so you could lose the heatsink kit & thermal paste you selected as well.
Sacrificing RGB and replacing 2TB HDD with a 1TB SSD puts you at
$884 + tax vs $845 + tax

You'll also want to consider getting a Windows license as well. https://www.microcenter.com/product/610158/microsoft-microsoft-windows-10-home-32-64-bit---usb
