I am looking to upgrade my gaming desktop to an i7 8700k. My current build is:

GTX 1080

i5 4590 - Stock Cooler

16gb DDR3 HyperX

MSI Z97 Gaming 3

250gb SSD

 

What parts should I upgrade to to fit the i7 8700k into my pc?

Right now my thoughts are:

Noctua - NH-D15 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler

Asus - ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory

Would you guys do any changes to it or just keep it as it is?

All answers appreciated.

Personally i would just get a i7-4790K from ebay there are many ''buy it now'' for 250$ right now...

the core i5-4590 goes for 90-100$ on ebay right now, so this would be a sweet 150$ upgrade.
