Need help with upgrade

['99]

Hi everybody,

It's been a long time, since I've build a gaming rig, so I could use some advice.

My son need's an upgrade. Coming from this:

Board ASUS MAXIMUS VI GENE - Haswell
CPU Intel Core i5-4670 Haswell - Box
Case Fractal Design ARC Mini - Black
Cooling Corsair Hydro H80i High Performance
Harddisk Western Digital WD Blue - 1TB
DVD drive Samsung SH-224DB
GFX ASUS GeForce GTX 670 - 4GB DDR5
PSU XFX ProSeries XXX Edition - 650W PSU
RAM 16 Gb Corsair Vengeance Bk DDR3-1866

Upgrading with this:

CPU Intel Core i5-8600K
Board MSI Z270 Tomahawk
RAM 16 Gb Corsair Vengeance LED DDR4 2666Mhz
Cooling Deepcool Captain 240 EX
Case Phanteks Eclipse P400 S Glass Silent
Harddisk Samsung 850 EVO 500 Gb 2.5 SSD

Keeping the GFX and old harddrive.

He's playing CS Global and streaming.

Any constructive input are welcome

If you're using an 8600k you need a Z370 motherboard, not Z270.

For CS GO and streaming, you don't really need an 8600k, you might want to consider an i5-8400 instead which is also 6-core.
