Frankly, I don't see any point in the 8700 version. It's extra £100/$100 for little to no improvement in the gaming area from 7700, or am I wrong? As you can see from my choice in GTX 1070 over the higher cards, while I do want the high end gaming potential, I'm not future proofing too far in the future.

I want to upgrade my current CPU to an i7-7700 (or the k version, not quite sure, could discuss that too?), and I know that I need to change my motherboard, but was wondering which motherboard to get and if I need to upgrade anything else. So my current set-up : Power supply: 600w CPU: i5-4570 @3.2 GHz (Changing to i7 7700 or 7700k) GPU: GTX 1070 (Keeping the same) RAM: some basic 2x4gb DDR3 @ 800MHz (This I'm thinking about upgrading as well alongside, but don't know what to get. The price range is very varied from what I see, and I don't quite see the advantages of one 2x8gb and a different one) Mobo: H81M-Plus (Obviously got to change, but to what, keeping in mind case size) CPU Heatsink: I'm not quite sure, but it's not one of the liquid ones. I've used this PC for about 2 years and cooling has never been an issue, so I don't know if I desperately need a new cooler? Case: Zalman Z3 Plus (I don't know if this counts as a small case or not, tbh)
