8700k is much better with better single core and extra 2 cores
3200 ram seems to be cheaper, keep your black/white theme
In general, very good build and good choice on the Gsync monitor
600+ good quality PSU will handle the rig, unless you are going to do SLI in the future.
Full tower is not needed and too big, Mid tower looks better imo.

Thanks for the edits vapour!

Do you have any thoughts about the heat generation of the 8700k? Will the Kraken x62 be able to handle it or would I have to go for other options?
Kinda worried after reading some articles about the heat generation from the 7700k / 8700k.

kraken x62 is way too expensive atm, get H115i instead. Both will do well.
