I assume you know you will need a new motherboard for the 8700k, and if the RAM is slower then you may want to buy some 3000-3200mhz speed as an upgrade, although performance gains will be pretty small. You may also want to get a 240MM AIO or dual tower air cooler as the 8700k can run hot especially if you plan on overclocking.

And that PSU should be more then enough for that system.

Honestly though depending on what you plan to do you probably wont notice any performance gain in gaming, unless maybe you plan on streaming or do heavy multi core/thread tasks.
