I5 8400
Z370 Aorus Ultra Gaming
nVidia Gtx 1060 6gb Aorus
Corsair Vengeance 16gb ddr4 3000mhz

Only problem is I ordered 8400 and has already delayed too much.
I'm thinking of canceling the 8400 and make a turn towards 8600k.
What do you think ?

If you are talking about the I/O Shield and VRM sentry, it is standard for most boards and well clear of your cooler alignment. Cant see any issues there. Also the brackets give you adequate board clearance around the cpu.
Well, you pay a premium including cooler for around 10% to 15% extra performance... http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-8600K-vs-Intel-Core-i5-8400/3941vs3939
The tradeoff is not visible right away on current games although you can feel the extra performance. But in the long run, the 8600k will hold its own on future games and when overclocked, it will definitely last you much longer down the line.

So you both believe it's worth the 80€ + ?
Also I have this cpu cooler
Zalman CNPS5X Performa.
Is it compatible with my motherboard's socket?
And will it fit or will mobo's shields stand in the way?
