Any comments like huge differences in performance? Is the price bump from one tier to another worth it? Can the psu support or are there any potential issues you can forsee with the parts?

U should give some examples of what u will use the PC for so people can give a suitable recommendation. (What games? Using for video editing? Etc.)

if you using 8700 or 8600 non k, then you no need z370 board. Just use h370 boards will do.

Also you can opt for the cheaper ram.

The psu no need so high end, just get the cosair or seasonic 650w will do.

2600 > 8600

 

[singupingu]

2600 > 8600

Depending on application.

In term of price/value, then the 2600 win hands down.

Maybe you can consider upgrading to an i7 3770, so you get to keep your motherboard. Next, how many spare ram slots do you have? Can just consider getting more ddr3 ram to populate the slots if available. For GPU, depends on your needs
