Hi Tomshardware.

I am looking to upgrade my old Motherboard, CPU, and RAM.

My current system is:

CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K Processor
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD5, Socket-1155
Memory: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 16GB CL9
Storage: OCZ SSD Agility 3 Series 2.5" 240GB
WD Desktop Black 2TB
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Gaming X
Case: Fractal Design Define XL Black Pearl
Power Supply: Corsair AX 850W PSU
Monitor: BenQ ZOWIE 27" LED XL2720

The "upgrade pack" I'm considering is this one:
* Video Card: ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-F Gaming, S1151
Info here
* RAM: HyperX Fury DDR4 2666MHz 16GB
Link here
* CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K Prosessor
Link here

Would these components function well with my current setup?
I am also wondering if I should consider purchasing a liquid cooler for the CPU?
The one I am considering is Corsair Hydro Series H115i Liquid CPU Cooler,

What are your thoughts?
If you have any suggestions, my budget is about 1250$.
Thank you for your time :)

 
Solution
"ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-F Gaming" That's not Video card but Motherboard. Yes, that should all work very well. Unless you plan large OC you don't need such a cooler but it's nice to have it.
