Current Specs:-
i5-4690k 3.9ghz
ASRock Fatal1ty Z97X Killer
16gb Gskill Ares 1600 Ram
2x 1070 GTX
H100i Corsair water Cooler
Coolermaster 690 III Case without window
Coolermaster 750W VS Series Gold + Power Supply
250gb Samsung Evo 3 SSD
1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm HDD

Looking to upgrade to i7 8700k so looking for parts to suit but i am not into all the lighting so would prefer non lighting products. Hence why I am having problems finding good parts.

I think I only need to upgrade:-
CPU - i7 8700k
cooler - ???
MB - Z370???
RAM - Not sure if to go 16gb or 32gb I will be doing some video editing

Looking at spending around $1500 Aussie dollars but budget is not too strict.

Any and all help appreciated

The motherboard he linked you is actual garbage. Do not use it if you plan to overclock, and do not buy that CPU if you do not plan to overclock.

It's far from garbage. It's not an ideal board for overclocking an i7 to the max, but it will do fine if he's just powering it stock. Aren't you that dude that used to post with your head so far up your ass, no one even knew what you were talking about ?

The lowest end H310 series motherboard will run an 8700k fine at stock. I am currently using a 4790k on an h81m board and it doesn't miss a beat even in prolonged avx loads.

Seriously...
