I was wondering what a good motherboard for the i7 7700k that isnt too expensive and can OC. I have seen some gaming motherboards with simple OC features on them and was curious if they are any good or manual OC is better ?

How about a 1080?Here's what's different compared to SR-71's build:
Better cooler.
Worse motherboard, still overclocks good though.
Slower RAM, faster RAM isn't of much use to you, unless you do video editing.
SSD is not M.2, It's SATA, much slower.
GPU is much better, 1080, compared to 1070.
Case is worse, but still fits all the parts and looks good.

Depends if you want to sacrifice a bit of everything for a 1080.
