I7-7700k or I7-8700 non K as I dont like overclocking.  Also is it ok to cool with 212 evo for 1 month

8700 is a more current generation chip and cheaper if you don't like overclocking go with that.

8700 is 6 core.  Don't buy a 7700K with its 4 cores.

@TheWiseGuy Not sure what that means. Is it future proof and also can I buy this motherboard and cooler? MOBO: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-Intel-Socket-Chipset-Motherboard/dp/B0764H6HC8/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1540578899&sr=1-1&keywords=Prime+z370-a And the Cooler is a 212 Evo it will only be for a month then il buy a AIO cooler.

Nothing is, the future is unknown.

That being said, yeah the 8700 will probably be good for 3 years.

Yes, but instead you can get an H370 instead of Z370 because you said you didn't want to overclock.

@fasauceome Id like to stick with the motherboard as I may get another cpu in a 2 years and id probably stick with the mobo also I love the look and it fits my build good.

So then do u plan on overclocking with it? I think you should just get the 8700k and then watch a YouTube overclocking tutorial, pretty worth it. Might as well let the motherboard reach its full potential.

@fasauceome I may in the future buy a K cpu and the K version is out my budget as it adds like 100 more and I cannot afford that. The mobo if its compatible will stay and il slowly upgrade through out the 2 years. Thanks for all your help
