Hi everyone, so the title is pretty self-explanatory. I don't know much about building up a system, so please do give me advice on what parts I can swap for more better ones, and which ones are unnecessary or too much. This will be my gaming system, and I want 4k performance, and my budget is max $1500, but the cheaper the system gets, teh better because I have to get a monitor as well!Here is my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CVv9BP

But is the Intel Core i7-7700K really important for gaming? Because It's really expensive

Its not important, but recommended. As games are moving towards more cores and threads the 7700k will last you much longer than a 7600k. The price has come to the exact same as yours. You can retain the 7600k to lower the cost.
For eg, where the 7600k might struggle after 3yrs or so, the 7700k will still be strong for 4-5 yrs. Your discretion mate.
