Need Opinions on a Upgrade

Hello, my name is Omar and i'm wanting to upgrade my pc from a

i7-4790 3.6Ghz

GeForce GTX 1060

24 GB of DDR3 RAM

2TB of HDD

 

to a

i7-8700K

GeForce GTX 1060

16 GB of DDR4 Ram

2 TB of HDD

 

Budget is 750$

I wanted a SSD, but my budget wont allow for it but to be honest i don't care if it shaves off a few seconds for games,

and i have patience for pc booting.

This is the amazon Listing for all the items i will need.

Listing: Amazon

I just need opinions on what to change and if theirs something better for the same price please tell me Thank you

what are you gonna do with the rig? if you're just gaming then get a better GPU and an ssd instead of spending money on an 8700k.

Going to game and probably going to try and stream. Also, i can play most games at 60-120 fps with that GPU. so i don't think it needs an upgrade.

i'd look into getting a pure rock or cryorig H7 instead of the hyper 212, both perform better at similar prices while a cheap $10 aidos black is smaller and cheaper while performing the same. if you can stretch the budget alittle i'd get the reeven justice i linked earlier.
