You're considering a budget PC build for resale. You have an i5 8500 CPU and an ASUS H310M-K motherboard with no M.2 slots. The new i7 6700 CPU board supports two PCIe slots, but you want advice on whether to upgrade the board or downgrade your CPU while boosting storage. Everything else matches, like DDR4 RAM. Seek recommendations on the best path forward.
