I'm planning to upgrade my aging PC (2500K + DDR3 + AsRock Extereme 3 Gen 3) to something modern. I'm keeping video card (1080 Ti) and all drives (1 optical, 4 SSDs and 2 HDDs). Everything else must be upgraded. It's been a while since last major overhaul, so I'll need some sanity check here.
My goals are as following:
- quiet PC, good quality case with decent airflow that is easy to work with and aesthetically pleasing. I don't need a window or any flashing LEDs.
- kaby lake i7, preferably air cooled
- fast DDR4 but also not too expensive.
- no extreme CPU overclocking, maybe moderate bump in clocks just because I can.
Main goal is to get decent parts geared towards moderate overclocking without breaking the bank.
This is what I came up with:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
CPU: Intel Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($349.99 @ Newegg)
CPU Cooler: CRYORIG H5 Universal 65.0 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus TUF Z270 MARK 2 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($143.98 @ Newegg)

Case: Fractal Design Define R4 (Black Pearl) ATX Mid Tower Case ($131.98 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA G2 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($143.88 @ Newegg)
Total: $919.82
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Does everything go well together? Are there components where I can save few bucks without compromising quality and speed? Will be purchasing on newegg since I have bunch of their gift cards.
Thanks in advance
