Gaming PC build, component choice for an upgrade

[subas113]

Hey I'm upgrading my current pc, looking for some tips on components. I'm from Portugal and not really on a budget just looking for good bang for my euros and a system that can play games on max 1080p for years to come.

                            Current;

CPU: IIntel Core 2 Quad Q8400 @ 2.66GHz                                                 >>Intel i5 8600k\9600k or rysen 2700  (280-320euros)

Cooler: http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cpu-air-cooler/hyper-z600/     >>Looking to keep the same with some moding (72x72mm) to (75x75mm)
Motherboard: Asus Maximus II Formula (LGA 775)                                     >>something cheap as long it is LGA1151 and Z390 ATX (120-150)
Memory: (4x2GB)8,00GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 333MHz                          >>G.Skill Ripjaws 16GB(2x8GB) DDR4-3200Mhz CL 16 or some thing similar on sale (150euros right now)
Storage: 465GB Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500GB                                        >>same
                465GB SAMSUNG HDD
Video Card: GTX 960 (Gigabyte)                                                                 >>same
Power Supply: something old and not reliable                                            >>http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/masterwatt-lite-series/masterwatt-lite-230v-700w/ or https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Power/Plug-Type/cx-series-config/p/CP-9020122-NA or some thing similar on sale (right now under 80euros)
 

Monitor: 1600x900 maybe 1080p or 1440 in the future

 

My main questions are;

-intel 8600k or 9600k (Im pending for 9600k for future proof)

-what motherboard brande or are all about the same

-are this PSU good or not really

 

thanks for you time in advance.

Future proofing isn't a real thing.  

 

Why would you get a 1600x900 monitor?  1080p is incredibly cheap and the standard.

If you want bang for buck, it's Ryzen

You don't really want to cheap out too much, especially on an overclocking motherboard for a nice CPU.

for now I will keep my gtx960 as it should deliver around 60fps in most games, maybe I will upgrade to future generations like 2070, or whatever comes after.

My monitor is 1600x900 because it is about 7 years old but if I buy a new one (in 1 or 2 years) it would be 1080 or 1440p that is what I meant, or maybe even 120hz but that is for another year.

Take the rest of the money and get a decent Monitor. Then, when you go to upgrade your GPU, simply grab whatever the Ryzen 5 series is available at the time. This will still be a large performance upgrade while not costing a lot for the time being.
