I am upgrading because since i removed my video card and CPU fan to clean them i have been having a lot of motherboard issues and think i may have screwed something up. I did that because i was having heat issue while trying to play EVE. I have a tendency to do a lot of stuff at once example 4 Dofus accounts running at once (online game) while running Skype with video and also having Netflix on in the background.
I have 2 screens and a tv hooked up to my PC possibly adding a 3rd screen.
I am reusing my 500GB SSD i also run a 4TB drive but in future planning to use a RAID 10 setup with 4GB x 4 Drives. I have a collection of movies, music and pictures i want to keep protected.
I will be using media server Plex at some point and a slight possibility of using CAD in the future.
I will be doing this in the next 6 months. I know new Intel chips are coming out but I don't know price point or anything about them to consider at this time.
I would like to stay under $400 for CPU. I would like to go with
Intel Core i7-8700K Coffee Lake 6-Core 3.7 GHz (4.7 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151 (300 Series) 95W

Motherboard Under $250
ASRock Z370 Taichi LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z370 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard

I would also like suggestions on what speed ram and is 16GB enough or do i need 32?
I have a AMD Radeon HD6900 Video card i will be reusing for now.
I do plan on adding the Octaine memory to this board if i go with it. Not sure why it has 3 spots for it but will try and figure that out if this is what i end up buying.
Sorry if this is confusing I tried not to make it complicated. I appreciate any suggestions anyone has or any information anyone is willing to give and thank you in advance for your time.
