Am I building the right PC for the price? $750

Hello, my current PC build is broken. Its either my motherboard or CPU. (MSI 970 motherboard & AMD FX 8350 CPU)

Instead of spending roughly 200-350 on a diagnosis a minimal upgrade or same parts I want to switch boards and cpu entirely as I'm done with AMD and the little amount of upgrades I can do now that Ryzen is out.

Based on my research this is what I'm looking to purchase: I will be pairing these with my GTX 1070

ASUS PRIME Z270-A $180 - https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01NGTYV2Q/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1

I5-7600K - 260$

Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB Dram 2400MHz C14 $136 - https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00UVN2B8K/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1

Sandisk 1250GB SSD $69- https://www.amazon.ca/SanDisk-120GB-SDSSDA-120G-G26-Newest-Version/dp/B01F9G414U/ref=sr_1_7?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1514586938&sr=1-7

Is this build good or could I improve?

Don't get a single DIMM for your RAM. Get a matched set of two 4GB DIMMs. Thinking you can "add later" is hit-or-miss at best.

Thank you, I forgot that ram is better with dual

I found these @ 2133, are they still good? https://www.amazon.ca/Corsair-Vengeance-2133MHz-Memory-Systems/dp/B0123ZAYIW/ref=sr_1_26?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1514588390&sr=1-26&keywords=Corsair%2BVengeance&th=1

They should be fine. Intel isn't a picky about RAM as Ryzen. 2133 is a safe frequency for most any build.
