Hi sankal
It seems you want overclock this combination as well so I would suggest you to go with 4th option which is better and reliable and you can play all of the latest game on very high to ultra settings in 60fps for Full HD resolution.

I'd suggest you wait two days. Intel just announced a bunch of Z370 motherboard in preparation for its Coffee Lake CPUs, which have two more cores than the 7000 series parts. That quad-core i7-7600K that costs $230 will be obsolete and replaced by a six-core i5-8600K on October 5, and it costs $257.

You may still want to go with AMD, because the Ryzen 5 1600 is a very capable CPU and it has HyperThreading, which the new Coffee Lake i5-8600K lacks. If it was my choice, however, I'd go with the Intel Coffee Lake. Although I'd personally go for an i7, but that's your budget.

As for the GPU, I'd go with the Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB.

z370 motherboards wont be costly?

No more so than Z270

Right. Maybe slightly more expensive, but for a good motherboard and the faster CPU, you might end up spending anywhere from an extra $20-$50, but you get a good deal more performance. And that means you won't have to worry about upgrading in the future for longer.
