Hi cusafr... I think you had another post going a while back, so I'm not gonna mention the case and stuff.  I think we covered it, plus with little gaming, heat dissipation might not be a big problem.  You could ask DS to add an exhaust fan to the top where heat likes to hang-out.
 
You mentioned very little gaming, just MS Office, surfing, etc.  on a 24" monitor..
 
Change the 2700k cpu to 2600K.  The 2700k does nothing.
 
If you have no need for sli, 2 gpu, then change 1050HX psu to 750HX.  All you'll need.  If you want sli in the future than keep it.
 
Ram I'll leave alone, I think you mentioned a little video editing.
 
The D14 cooler is out of stock until mid-March.  The Phantek TC14 replaces it and is about the same size and performance. 
 
Everything else looks great.Big%20SmileGood Luck
