Need help choosing a CPU

My pc is currently running on an I5-4690k, 16gb of ram and a GTX 1060 3GB (ask me for more details if you need any)
I wanted to replace my CPU with an I5-8600k however I´m unsure which motherboard to pick considering I´m not very knowledged about pc´s.
Additionally I don´t know if the CPU itself would be a good idea, or if my 1060 would bottleneck it.
My current choice of motherboard would be an ASROCK

Any Suggestions or help you could give me?
Thanks in advance.

Get an ASRock Z370 Extreme4 instead.

Sorry, I meant 8600k

Are there any advantages to the Z370 compared to the board I picked, considering there is a significant price difference

B360 doesnt support overclocking.

 

But what are you doing with the system? With Ryzen 3rd gen coming in the next months it could be better to upgrade the graphics card first, especially for a gaming rig (though it still depends on the game)
