First build - Gaming - Need advice

[DylanGosling]

CPU Intel i5-8600k 3.6 GHz 6 Cores -CPU COOLER Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM -Mother Board Asus Prime Z370-A ATX LGA1151 (Not sure if i should get Asus Z370 E or F Gaming) -RAM G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4 16gb(not sure what mhz to get I don't fully understand it and should i get 4x4GB or 2x8GB) -GPU EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti FTW Ultra Silent Gaming, 8GB GDDR5, ACX 3.0 -CASE NZXT H500 ATX Mid Tower Case -PSU EVGA SuperNOVA G3 650w 80+ Gold (not sure if i should go for Corsair 650x 2018 or SuperNOVA G2 650w) -FANS Corsair LL140 RGB (With Lightning Node Pro) 51.5 CFM 140mm x2
I want some RGB in my build. I already have Storage and Monitor in mind. PC Part Pickers says No Issues/incompatibilities found. This comes to Around $2100 - $2500 Aud Total. $2500 being my budget.

for ram, get a 2x8 at 3000Mhz speed if you can; for the mobo, any of those options are fine for the 8600k; for the psu, any of those are fine but this is a steal that I recommend you get asap https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1387306-REG/evga_120_gp_0650_x1_supernova_650w_g1_80.html With that, solid build man; however, depending on where you live, the 9600k is only $10 more than the 8600k, plus it is compatible with the z370 chipset so why not go that way

Thank you for your advice, I will change CPU to 9600k price ends up at about $2250 Aud, anything else you recommend i pick up thats not in the list?

As Imeneses has state, get 3000mhz or faster RAM if possible.  The PSU he listed is a real steal and thanks for pointing that out.  I just got the 850 watt version for 65 bucks from there.  I couldn't pass up that deal.  

 

I am currently building one for my stepson.  Awaiting for the motherboard to arrive tomorrow I hope.  I had to RMA it.  I am also using the NZXT 500 case for that build as well.  I just installed a 280mm radiator and fans.  I hope to have it up and running for him tomorrow.
