Any particular reason for not going with latest generation i7-8600K and z370 motherboard?

[Glennieboyyy007]

don't get an i5 if you want to play games at 1440p and 165Hz, try to get an i7 8700k (also a z370 mobo if you go 8th gen intel)

The new i5 8600K will cope fine with 1440p 165Hz.

You can build with i5 8600K under $2000.

yes it is, also if you don't like the price you can try and go for 2666mhz ram speed to save a bit
