Or change PSU to a semi modular and dump the optical drive and you can get a SSD as well.

How is this CPU better than the i5 7600k? and how do the two motherboards compare? as to the memory, why would you recommend that one, they're both 16 gigs. Also, the graphic cards dont make much of a difference.

Few things here..

Yes, that I5-8400 is faster than the 7600K
Switching to a 2TB HDD and a 250GB SSD is a very good idea.
And no, there is no way to recover from failing drive in RAID 0 and you still get much more performance from a SSD. Besides your SSD will most likely live way longer than a HDD.

i've looked on some websites and the I5 - 7600k performs better for gaming and general use, what evidence do you have that the 8400 is better, i understand it has more threads but how much does that affect
