MSI Pro B760-VC HS Wifi, Phanteks XT View, and MSI MAG A750GL PCIe 5, sorry for the late reply
No complaints, the timing worked out just fine.
As long as your paste spreads fine, you should be okay. If you are concerned, buy more. It's only a few bucks.

I threw your parts into here for just an idea of what you had. Assuming you don't have a ton of drives or a 300w video card in your system, you are probably fine. You should add the rest of your parts in the link I provided to confirm you aren't approaching 80% of your available wattage.
You should be able to get away with that cooler. See if you can find the thermal properties of your cooler. If not, you can find a suggested replacement on PCPartPicker, but you should look deeply into whatever you purchase and try taking measurements to confirm it will fit.
Finally, PCPartPicker suggests a bios update before you swap processors, just in case your bios is old and doesn't support that chip.
