Have you built your rig yet?
I would suggest a different motherboard if you plan on doing any overclocking on that 8700k. The power delivery on that ASUS board looks weak. Consider spending a little extra on a nice Z390 chipset board - they basically all have beefy VRMs because they're designed for the 9th Gen. Intel CPUs. This also means that you can drop an 8C/16T 9900k into your board in a couple years if you want and not worry about any throttling due to overheating VRMs.
That Asus Z370 will support a 9900k drop in, but its power delivery WILL NOT. Honestly that VRM setup may even struggle with an overclocked 8700k.
