Advice for a big upgrade

Yehomilk

Hello. I am doing a very large upgrade which consists of finally breaking free from my heavily upgraded pre-built pc. I'm getting a new motherboard, processor, ram, and case, but I need advice incase I'm doing something wrong. Here are the parts I'm getting:

 

APEX 21N-01 Mid Tower Case

Patriot Viper 4 3000 mhz 2 x 4 gb Ram

Biostar Z370GT6 Motherboard

Intel Core i5 8600k Processor

 

These are the parts I already have.

 

EVGA 500w Power Supply

1 TB HDD

EVGA GTX 1060 SC 3GB Graphics Card

 

Is there anything wrong with the parts I'm getting? As far as I know there aren't any compatibility issues.

Take out that motherboard and replace it with an Asus Prime Z370-A

the 8600k seems a bit overpowered for a 1060 3gb...
I would either upgrade the GPU (which you can't do, since you already have it) or downgrade the CPU to something like a lower tier Ryzen or an i5-8400

I play very cpu intensive games, so I don't need a graphics card to be powerful.

That's a $90 increase in price from what I'm getting, is it really worth it? What is better about the Z370-A than the Z370-P?

Okay then. Just buy any ATX Asus motherboard within your budget.
