Budget target: $1,300

Mobo: Asus Prime Z370-A $160 after MIR

Also need: Windows 10 license - $120(?)

Monitors: 2,560 x 1,440 25" IPS main and 1,920 x 1,200 24" for desktop space.
Maybe's for later this year:
Replace 1,920 monitor with 3,840 x 2,160 if I see a deal
Try to upgrade to 1080 GTX. I saw MSI 1080 on Newegg for $610 earlier this week, held off and now kicking myself.

Prior system is i5-2500K, has given a lot of good service, selling turnkey to a friend minus GPU.

Appreciate any help or ideas you care to offer

looks fine. hit the fs/ft thread for a cheap w10 key.

The 212+ won't really be adequate for an 8700k if you plan on overclocking. Also, you do not need to spent ~$100+ on a Windows license; look in the FS forums for keys from the likes of ickywu and Kuurus.

Everything else looks fine.

Awesome, thanks dudes!

I will research into alternate coolers for when I want to overclock.
