Ok, so the build is decent however you need a better CPU & PSU. The 212 EVO is going to struggle to keep that 8700K within a safe range and that CXM 450W is cutting it extremely close but also isn't really that good quality wise.
Thanks! Im just looking to game at 1080p so would the build you recommend be good for that? I mostly play fps and battle royale games if that makes any difference. Also, these fans would be powerful enough to support everything? I just want to be completely sure everything will work.
Ok so you'll want the 8700K. As for fans the two included as exhaust are fine but I'd recommend a pair of 140mm fans for Intake.
The length of the MSI is 204mm and the H500 supports GPU's up to 381mm so there should be no issue.

Onboard audio nowadays is quite good, try it first before considering a audio card.
Yea, just make sure the LAN drivers are up to date, download them from the motherboard manufacturers site.

I think ill be able to make the upgrade; however, that is probably the most I can go. Thanks for your help!Not really, just take your time and if it doesn't initially boot don't worry as it's probably something minor you've overlooked. If it doesn't boot then go through this checklist.

Although how much more, if possible, could you afford from my recommended build? The reason I ask is the motherboard isn't the best especially if you want to overclock eventually. I'd change it to this if possible.

I was checking that everything works and the graphics card and case problem is still worrying me, Is there a reason a 1070, the one in my original build, wouldn't work? Something to do with the fan or psu maybe?Not really, just take your time and if it doesn't initially boot don't worry as it's probably something minor you've overlooked.

There's no issue, I swapped it over as it trade blows performance wise with the 1070 and can be had for cheaper. Just trying to save money for other aspects of the build such as the CPU cooler.
Okay. Also, If i were too switch to an Intel - Core i5-8600K 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor, would i lose a lot of power (in terms of frames and processing)? Is it worth it to spend $120 less?
Not at all, the 8600K 6 core is still very impressive as performance per core is very good. I would however pay a little more and grab the 9600K as unlike the 8600K it has soldered TIM which reduces the temp quite a bit. Plus going with the i5 instead of the i7 allows you to get a much better SSD.
Okay. Will these compatibility issues affect anything?
