Agreed, a Cryorig H7 or bequiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 would be a much better option.

So you're going to pair an underwhelming cooler that won't let you overclock much, if at all, because a friend has it? Better coolers that perform well above the Hyper 212 do exist for just a few bucks more so why hamstring yourself?

how similar? My hyper 212 limits overclocking on my quad core CPU to a low 4.2GHz, even though I used a faster fan (temps reach 78C with Prime95 small FFT test). Even with increased efficiency over generation, the 8700k has 50% extra cores so the heat output will be even higher. That's not accounting for the higher clock speed, yet.

Same as last time, for gaming, spend less on the CPU and more on the GPU. Change the CPU to the 8400, and the GPU to the 1070 Ti. Consider a cheaper motherboard. Use the stock cooler, instead of the poor performing, overpriced, bulky and finnicky 212 Evo. 

Swap the memory kit for a cheaper 3000MHz kit. Nearly all 2800-3200MHz CL15-CL16 kits use the same Hynix die anyway. 

Change the SSD to the MX500 or the SL308. 

Consider a more modern case. 

Change the PSU to one that isn't as loud. Something like the RMx, Focus Plus or Whisper M. 

You can geta Windows key from Reddit or Kinguin for $25.

but the 8400 has a clock speed of 2.8 ghz

gaming depends on the GPU much more than the CPU, having a 1070ti over the 1060 will be much better even if you have to drop to an i5.

I’d rather do the i5 8600k I think is what it is , 6 core processor than the 8400

the 8400 has the same 6 cores as the 8600k, they just run alittle slower.

I just cant seem to think about reason why would you go for 2400 mhz ram rather than 3200 for the same money. Yea the 8400 runs at 2,8 ghz when it is at idle. When it is under load it runs at 4 ghz which is compared to 4,3 ghz of 8600k minimal difference. As was said above you would do much much better if you went for the 1070ti or even 1070 if you want to save some money. You can get windows 10 pro key from kinguin.

Well, if you get only ssd after you install windows you will be left with 200 gb of storage which is like nothing if you want to install some games (e.g. gta 5 is like 50 gb). So the ssd would be your boot storage you would keep there windows and the 1 tb hdd would be for games and things like that.. Just keep in mind that ssd is a very good thing to have nowadays as your system is much much faster than with hdd.

So i changed the ramto  ddr4 3200 like you recommended and added another storage like you said. I am going over board on the motherboard and a little less on the cpu which i dont think are big deals. Yes i am going to pay the extra $59 for the 8600k, i just think i might as well its almost the same money for a touch more.
