I'd give it a 7/10, you should have gone with a H370 board or B360 board for the 8400.

Motherboard is bit overkill unless you are planning to get unlocked chip in the future, what model PSU did you get, since it is more important than brand? 

Would have gotten more RAM, different case too

ok then maybe get a better PSU, some of the cheap ones from them really suck.

I might upgrade to the x (intel i5 x series) series after 1 year and maybe a 1070 while I’m at it. Power consumption seems fine according to coolermaster psu calculator and pcpartpicker power draw bar.

X series arent supported by this motherboard, nor do they use the same socket. Kaby-Lake X are just dumb (repackaged 7600k and 7700k), so no i5 X CPUs. With the release of 9900k soon, even the i7 Skylake-X CPUs are bad buys.

can you be more precise in motherboard and PSU model name? EVGA makes rubbish cheap units, and MSI makes Z370 boards that are bad with the 8600k

that just confirms my (not the worst) fears. Btw there's canadian PCPP (ca.pcpartpicker.com)

 

i5-8400: Np

Pure Rock Slim: should have saved your money and use the stock cooler instead. You will be replacing this cooler if you want to overclock the 8600k

MSI Z370-A Pro: nowhere near good for overclocking, but pushing an 8600k should be fine.

2x4GB DDR4: Np

No SSD: sad. Moving the OS to another drive is hard work.

1TB HDD: Np

GTX 1060 6GB: Bad, RX 580 (performance equivalent), even the 8GB model, cost less in general.

Asus Strix: This card's value consists of mostly gimmick (I call RGB lights gimmick). GTX 1060 doesnt need that extra cooling.

Founders: worse cooling than Strix (or any dual fan design), no RGB, I dont know why would people that arent reviewers get their hands on these things.

Masterbox 5 Lite: Hardly any air for cooling, though leaving the side panel open solves the problem.

EVGA 500B: Garbage.Should have nought something tier 3 or higher from the list linked below

 

It's best to ask here before spending your money next time.
