Do you even need NVME? If not just go for 860 Evo.

I5 8600k is neither here nor there. Either get the i5 8400 non k and save money on cooler, or get the i7 8700 non k for much better performance. If you can afford it, absolutely go for i7 8700k.

Ram just get whatever you can afford. Not too important for Intel.

Is it cheaper buying the mobo and processor combo or the two parts seperately?
