I am trying to put together a rather beastly machine. I am not extreme, but I do want power. I will be using this PC mostly for gaming. I have a preference for white color aesthetic.
This is only my second computer build so I am still relatively new to it.
These are the parts that I have decided on fully and already ordered and received:
Thermaltake X71 - Tempered glass case.

Intel I7-7700K Kaby Lake Quad Core 4.2Ghz processor.

These are the next parts I am considering:
Asus Rog GeForce GTX 1080 Strix Video Card

ASUS Prime Z270-A Motherboard
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132936
Thermaltake Water 3.0 Riing RGB 360 AIO.

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 3200

--------------------------
I am pretty clueless when it comes to motherboards. The only thing I REALLY know is that the Prime is the "Entry level" version, but it's also the only one that I see in a white aesthetic. I was also considering going with the Asus Rog Strix Z270-E. It may not be white, and it's RGB is limited, but it would pair nicely with the Video card I would think. Any suggestions?
Also not sure on the video card itself. Am I missing an obvious upgrade somewhere? Something just seems off to me but for the life of my I can't pinpoint it. I could just be going crazy looking all these specs for days on end.
The Ram. I'm not really sure about this ram either. I'd like to consider RGB ram to give more color to the system through that beautiful tempered glass. Also seems like a waste at 3200 when at least the motherboard first chosen can go up to 3866. It was however the only white ram that I could locate in a brand name that I know.
I have the monitor, KB, mouse, storage and OS already so didn't list them.
Any suggestions about the build? Stupid mistakes? Pointers? Any help would be appreciated.
