I think you should upgrade mother board and cpu a little bit more. Try getting i9 or 8th gen i7 processor with a compatible motherboard and also try getting an external wifi adapter as the internal one is not recommended due to electrical disturbances.

I don’t really want to upgrade the processor as it’s expensive and I read reviews and there isn’t a HUGE difference. What can I upgrade of the motherboard? Again, if it’s just miniscal then I’d rather not as I’m already pretty much maxing out my budget.

I’m really just looking for 100% changes such as the wifi you suggested. Is there anything that I 100% need to upgrade/doesn’t make sense?

I can always upgrade a few parts later on (a year or two) if it’s worth it. Can this computer as it stands run the games i suggested on my OP?

Cheers mate

Watch out. He doesn't know what he's talking about. Your 7700K is socket 1151, whereas the motherboard he was suggesting is socket 2066. They're not compatible with each other.

Get a Samsung 960 pro NVMe drive for boot and a larger 850 EVO SATA3 for your game library. This will make startup and load times much faster. Mechanical HDs should only really be used for archiving/backup etc on a performance rig. If you'll be using it for gaming primarily, go for the fastest graphics card you can get your hands on. More than 4 CPU cores is pretty much useless for gaming. You need fast cores though, so 4 cores with the highest possible frequency and a motherboard that lets you put all cores in turbo mode is preferrable... Get a decent PSU, I'd recommnend at least 850W. It really helps to keep the system stable as the GPU will usually put some serious strain on the power supply.

You might want to consider saving a few £'s by buying a Windows 10 key from Kinguin or similar. (But I recommend Kinguin.)
Prices vary depending on what day you happen to look, but I have picked up many keys for under 30€ in the past and I haven't had any issues.
