I'm gonna be using this PC for streaming and Fortnite

Solid build, but if you're streaming, a 2700X might be a better pick than the 8700K.

1. Major usage in details? Only streaming fortnite? You can get away with far less money...
2. Budget and country?
Comments on build:
cooler too weak to overclock 8700k well
ram too slow
psu overkill, 650 is more than enough unless considering SLI in the future
what monitor do you have?

1. I might stream other games but it’s mainly fortnite.
2. I’m fortunate enough to not really have a budget.
3. What kind of Ram do I need for this build?
4. What kind of fan do I need for the CPU you recommend? What kind of CPU fan do you recommend for my current CPU?
5. I have a Benq monitor

Thank you for the help!

RAM: 2x8gb 3200 kit like https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231941&cm_re=ddr4_16gb-_-20-231-941-_-Product
If air cooler, R1 universal or Noctua NH-D15
AIO, h110iv2 or Kraken x62
Ryzen 2700X is an alternative.

What’s the difference between my ram and this one? Is the Intel CPU a bad choice or should I switch to something else.

ram speed, 2400 vs 3200
8700k is pretty good chip but has only 6 cores/12 threads compared to 2700X's 8 cores/16 threads. More threads help streaming. However, 8700k has stronger single core, so if only gaming, 8700k wins, if streaming, could be close. Some people are concerned with loopholes like spectre etc on Intel chips to happen again, and AM4 socket may last longer than LGA 1151 (300), 2700X is a viable alternative. If you do prefer Intel, wait for 9th gen release, will provide more options for you.

I7-8700K is an excellent CPU. In fact to match it with a GTX 1070 is more than enough.
Ryzen 7 2700X is also an excellent CPU. Choose the one you choose will not disappoint you.

The RAM that corresponds to I7-8700K is, at least, 2666. With 2400 this PC deserves a little. The difference between 2666 and 3000 with Intel is small. The difference in price will tell you if it's worth it.

If you get a Ryzen, then the RAM should definitely be 3000/3200 because Ryzen loves fast memory and is very sensitive to slower memories. The Ryzen of the second generation like the Ryzen 7 2700x are not so sensitive but they still are.
