Get a newer i7, alternatively a Ryzen 7. And maybe look at a Samsung SSD instead. Otherwise you're good!

Don't get the 7700K. Either get the 8400, 8600K or 8700K, or a Ryzen. 

240mm AiOs are stupid. Either get a decent air cooler for half the price, or a 280mm AiO for a bit more. 

Get faster RAM. >2800MHz.

The SL308 costs $10 less than the Adata SSD, and it's fairly decent.

You can get cheaper 1TB HDDs. 

Do you really need a DVD player?

Do you really need a Wi-Fi card?

The Corsair SP and AF fans are pretty bad. Why spend so little on the case and PSU, and so much on fans that light up?

much better CPU, cooler is a bit weaker, but in return dosent sound like a god damn jet engine

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Is a 120mm AIO enough to get an 8700k to pretty high speeds.

A good air cooler is better then AIO (think Noctua dh15). It's just a gimmick in my opinion.

The 7700K is pointless. It perfoms similarly to the 8400, and worse than the 8600K in games, and it's significantly worse than the 8700/K and Ryzen in content creation. 

Faster RAM impacts performance, usually ~5-10% improvement, depending on the application.

Will a 6700k work?

That works well. You really don't need an i7 for gaming anyways.

120mm AiOs are stupid. Something like a Cryorig H5 will be quieter, cost less and cool better

A decent air cooler will perform better than a bad AiO, irrelevant of overclocks. Either get a decent 280mm AiO (or a custom loop), or get a decent air cooler.
