https://pcpartpicker.com/ you can input your build and it will flag any issues.

I however do not see any at first glance without actually inputting that build for you. Everything there seems on the up and up.

The biggest thing is that the CPU has to match the socket type on the motherboard (Socket type 1151 for the i7-8700k) and that your RAM matches the motherboard type (DDR4 for the Z370) and you got everything correct in that aspect.

Are you planning to overclock? If yes you want an 8700k, if no you don’t need a Z370 motherboard and can look at cheaper options.

I swear i didn't even see that it said 8700 not the 8700K

He definitely either needs the 8700K or a cheaper motherboard.
