Since im getting most of my stuff from this store its like 15 mins from where i live so

Those will all work. They are just a little slower than the ones I posted. Out of the ones you posted I would go with this one... https://www.ultramalta.com/Crucial-Ballistix-Sport-LT-Gray-16GB-Kit-2-x-8GB-DDR4-2666-UDIMM_p_1877.html

That's a question only you can answer, as long as your happy with the gaming/graphics performance of that 960 then there's no reason to upgrade it.

That will work too. Just a little slower than the one I linked.

No, it is better and cheaper to buy a 2 x 8gb kit to get a total of 16gb.
If you are multitasking and gaming, you need enough ram to comfortably hold all the active tasks.

Do not buy one 16gb stick,
You want to run in faster dual channel mode, and that requires a two stick kit.

And... buy ram only in a single kit. Buying two 8gb sticks may seem cheaper but ram must be matched and will be supported only in a single kit.

Are you going to be using it for gaming?

@geofelt So is this one good ? https://www.ultramalta.com/Crucial-Ballistix-Sport-LT-Gray-16GB-Kit-2-x-8GB-DDR4-2666-UDIMM_p_1877.html

That looks reasonable.
Along with a I7-8700K, you will want a Z370 based motherboard.
Really, any one will do.
Unless you have a particular feature, start looking at the cheapest.
Perhaps this:
https://www.ultramalta.com/Gigabyte-Z370P-D3--Intel-Z370--Sck1151--DDR4-ATX-_p_1800.html
You will also need a cooler since the K processors do not come with one.
From your store, this would be the best air cooler:
https://www.ultramalta.com/LC-Power-LC-CC-120-X3--CPU-cooler_p_1667.html
Make certain that there is 158mm height available in your case.
I do not recommend a liquid cooler.

So i should go for the lower motherboard and get the cooler?

This is what my cart looks like right now https://imgur.com/a/aw8P44v or should i go with this mother board ? https://www.ultramalta.com/AORUS-Z370-Gaming-K3--Intel-Z370--Sck1151--DDR4-ATX-_p_1852.html

Your cart looks fine.
You need a cooler of some sort, and the other air options are puny and not suitable for an 8700K.

As to motherboards, the less expensive Z370 based motherboard looks ok to me.
If you like RGB "bling" the aorus is OK too.

The first one looks fine.... What GPU are you planning to get?

 

[xaka12]
