Upgrading from an i5 6500
Z170 Mobo
Using it for Gaming with xbox app not steam
Music Production
Internet Browsing
Streaming
Multi Tasking
Some heavy Apps Usage etc

Please stylize your post akin to this thread. If your current specs to the system you're on is listed in your sig space, please parse the specs to your build in your thread's body. The reasoning behind that is that sig space specs can and will change over time. When that happens this thread and relevant suggestions become moot for the person in the same boat as you are now.

Be sure to answer all the questions to your level best so we have all details covered and hopefully make your potential investment(s) worthwhile. Mentioning the name of the app's and game titles helps with us understanding what needs fine tuning in your build.

Build looks, alright, only question is, what is the frequency for the ram kit you've mentioned above both before the upgrade and after the upgrade? If you're recycling the PSU from your older build, please specify the age of the unit. As time goes, the effective power output by a PSU can and will degrade meaning they aren't outputting the same power as they were brand new.

If it was me I would probably get the 10700K for the extra cores right at the same price USD.

Why not reuse the Be Quiet cpu cooler and use the money for the aio for a better gpu?

I am keeping that aio atm it jus to bulky and heavy so opted for a liquid cooler atm

That is fine, can look for something not as expensive like the Arctic Liquid Freezer II unless RGB is a must.
