I just got an i7 8700k processor and no I won't overclock it cuz I dunno how to but only on stock volts so I am a noob unless I hire someone to do it for me lol.
I need huge advice on what build I should build to run an amazing PC system that can max out everything in every PC game out there. I want the honest best advice ever so I can have the smoothest experience for years to come!
These are the games I am currently playing right now and soon.
This is my current system I plan to appraise and sell.
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K overclocked to 4.4ghz only a few months. Never been overclocked for years.
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060-6GB SSC Had this since Sep 20, 2017. (Not sure if I wanna sell this but optional) Still has the warranty intact. I replaced the thermal paste with Arctic MX-4
Cooler: Corsair H100iv2 (Had this since Mar 5, 2018)
SSD: Samsung 830 256GB
HDD: WD Black 1TB--(Got rid of the hard drive and switched to Seagate FireCuda SSHD 1TB)
HDD: WD Blue 500GB--(Got rid of the hard drive and switched to Seagate FireCuda SSHD 1TB) One hard drive installed not two just for the current build. Plan to use it for the new build anyways. Hope I didn't make a mistake getting this Hard Drive.
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 C9 4x4GB
Monitor: BenQ GW2450 Glossy Black 24" 4ms (GTG) Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 DC 20,000,000:1 (5000:1) DVI-D and VGA only. 1920x1080p 60HZ
MBD: Asus SABERTOOTH Z77
PSU: EVGA 850 BQ Cable Mod Green Sleeves included.
Case: NZXT Phantom 820 (Spare Parts) Working case but the front panel header connectors cables are ruined. Nothing simple soldering can do. I will include the original fans too. Everything is in the case except the Front Panel Header connectors are disabled. It's easy to solder the damaged cable and put it back on. I already replaced the circuit board for lighting in the case.
Current new case I am already using is NZXT H700i with the old build inside for the time being.
i7 8700k stock clocks (No overclocking will be done but I wish I could but not gonna go for it.

Ignore the budget price since it will be less than that since I personally already own the video card and hard drive and cooler but I may get another H100iv2 as a backup but probably waste of money. However, I need help with the best Gaming affordable PC monitor that can support 1080p. NO idea if I need a 120hz monitor. I don't know if I should go 1440p because I am not overclocking anything unless you fellas think it will run okay otherwise. I know I will need a Dual Link DVI-D for this for higher refresh rate. So help a gamer here. I want the smoothest experience ever for years to come. I still wonder if I need to get a better video card or what? My warranty is about to be up. I seriously need to change the thermal pads. I already re-applied thermal on the 1060 SSC but I think this card is getting a bit old. I am still unsure if I should get the z390 when I was told the z370 is cheaper but EVGA is something I don't mind trying but ASUS has never failed me. I saw a few MSI boards that are good but I want good performance not motherboards with cheap VRM's. I barely know much but I have educated myself enough to understand how great a motherboard can run. I just love bios flashbacks. They are so easy to use a button to push. I hate doing it the old fashioned way that's me lol
