PSU is no good. Either you wait for coffee lake next week if you stick with Intel, or better bang for the buck:

The i5-8400 base clock is at 2.8Ghz but OC's to 4.0GHz so do you think I should get that and OC it or get the i5-8600k? Also I'm running an 27" ASUS monitor, not sure of the model but it's only 60hz. Definitely gonna try to get a 144hz monitor after I build everything. Also will I need a new motherboard for the new Coffeelake processors?
