Hello, I would like to know if this build, is indeed 100% compatible with each other and if it will last me a good few years playing 1080p games at reasonably high settings.

RX 480 Strix
B250 Krait
i7 - 7700 non K
2x8GB DDR4 2400mhz LPX Corsair /I might drop that down to 8 gigs, so it will still run pretty good?/
1 TB Seagate Barracuda
CX550M
NZXT S340
Hyper 212x

Also, will the CX550M suffice for this setup?

With that setup , the 16 gigs fits and is becoming the norm for homebuilt setups.

Ahaha damn thanks, Im sure you know me by now because of how many threads I post here asking for help... Well this being my second build, I believe is justified xD. So considering all this, should I drop down from 16 gigs to 8 gigs and spend that on, Im not certain, a better mobo? GPU Wise I cant go any further since any 1060 is outta my price range considering this build xD

IMO the i7 is an overkill for 1080p gaming. i5 is plenty. The rx 480 is great but GTX 1070 is better for games like witcher 3, and future games like that.
And 8gb ram should be enough but 16gb is what future games might recommend.

You might be able to save $100 downgrading from i7 to i5 and upgrade your gpu
