I would avoid the i5 7500 (and all the others) and go for an 8th Gen Intel system from here: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/computers/intel-z370-pc/

With an i5 8400 and its 6 cores ideally. Though if you got the i3 8100 it would still be as good as an i5 7500, with the option at least that you could potentially get an 8700k in the future. Not great value upgrading within the same CPU generation, but at least you have better options than with the H110M-R mobo.

You could drop the SSD in favour of an HDD. The SSD won't affect gaming performance, and you can add one as a DIY future upgrade more easily than having to replace the CPU (and mobo).
