And if I overclock the i5-7600k would I then need the watercooler?

Also, any reason for the r5 1600 over this one? (The intel 8th gen is above my budget)

7600k is a terrible processor, only 4c/4t and a little inferno.  Also the 7600k doesn't come with a stock cooler

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

7th gen is a terrible deal. With a budget of 1600 CAD you could do much more.

What would be the difference between the 7600k and the 8400, in both general work and games?

8400 has more cores and threads. Base and turbo clock speeds are also much higher. 8400 doesn't require a big cooler or an overclock to achieve these better speeds and comes with a fan in the box.

What about mobo for it?

I was looking at the msi gaming plus and ASRock - Z370 Pro4

Personally I'd go with Asus, but if you're able to wait till next year I'd get a cheaper B360 or H370 board since it's better suited for a locked processor like the 8400 (no overclock)

Do you know around which month they are expected to come out? Also, I had found the msi one at around 130 CAD. Would the new ones be cheaper than that?

Well current gen B250 and H270 boards are around $100 and under

so I'd expect the same series boards of the 8th gen CPU's at around the same price. 

I'm expecting them to drop sometime after Christmas (jan-march)

 

But a Z370 board would be a good buy as well if ever you upgrade the processor to something like a 8700K later on down the line.

 

Here's a board, Asus, 5 year warranty that I would recommend around $130

ASUS TUF Z370-PRO GAMING

I'm finding it around 200 CAD, too expensive for me at the moment.

No the H100i has 2 fans, you'd hear them more than the single fan of an I5 8400

 

and if you go the 7600K route, i'd get a Noctua NH-D15 since air coolers are more reliable than AiO water coolers.

This is what I have right now. And if not the H100i, what would you recommend?

Stock cooler is already enough to keep the locked 8400 cool while staying quiet. You can undervolt the CPU to further lower the temps if you wish. Also using slower memory to spend more on the graphics card will give better performance overall.
