Does the budget include the parts you already have?

CPU: Intel core i7-8086K Case: CORSAIR Crystal 570X RGB CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H150i PRO RGB Storage: Samsung 980 Pro - 2TB NVMe SSD PSU: EVGA 1000 GQ, 80+ GOLD 1000W, Semi Modular GPU: MSI Radeon RX 580 GAMING X 8G RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 64GB (4 x 16GB) DDR4 3200mhz Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX Z370-E Gaming

For a motherboard, imo the best motherboard would be the Asus Rog Strix X470-F.

I would obviously recommend an SSD so like maybe a Samsung 970 Evo Plus - a nice nvme SSD. For a cooler I'm not really sure, depends if you want to water cool your system or not, if not than any good choice of fans in a well placed configuration will be just fine, water cooling is nice though. I'm not the most knowledgable on cooling though, so double check with someone else or some YT tutorial before purchasing any random fan.
