Been looking at different parts I could use to build a new PC and think I have finally found what I want.

i5-8600k
ASUS ROG STRIX Z370
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 2666MHz
NZXT S340 Elite Mid Case
Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD
Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD
Kingston 120GB SSD

I recently bought a GTX 1070 which is being used in my current PC.
I plan on using my Zalman 750 80+ Gold PSU from my current PC

The seagate HDD will be used for games/stuff
The Samsung SSD will be used to speed up loading times for games (GTA, BF1 for example)
The Kingston SSD will be used for my O/S and other important software

I could always go for a i7-8700K, except I don't plan on overclocking or could go for the standard i7-8700.

What do you guys think? Is there something I could change? I don't have a budget, but don't plan on going higher than the parts I have listed as I want to use the money I get later towards other stuff.
 
BHPhotovideo has i7 8700 for $330. Other retailers sell i5 8600K for $280 and 8700K for $400. If you don't OC (only 100 mhz difference between two i7) and have budget, get i7 8700 to get 6 more threads and don't have to worry upgrade for a while.
 


I live in NZ, so the prices are extremely different. 8600k is around $400-450. The 8700 is another 100 or more, and another 100 or more for the 8700k.
