Some of the parts have relatively low price/fps return. That wouldn't be a problem if you have maximised your GPU, ie. if you have a 1080ti. However, your selected GPU is a 1070. While the 1070 is a good GPU, you can get a cheaper motherboard and an air cooler, then spend the extra money on getting a 1080ti instead. This will get you...

Also, overclocking the 7700k gets you a few extra fps but nowhere near the improvement that you get from upgrading to a 1080 or 1080ti.

For a gaming PC, at $1400 price point you should first buy a GTX 1080ti(not an expensive one, something like the G1 gaming) and then budget the rest of your parts. Similarly for $1200 price point you should first buy a GTX 1080(around 480-500$), and for $1000 price point fist buy a GTX 1070.

If you are bove these price points with a lower GPU you price/performance for gaming is not optimal. That is unless you have a niche use case scenario like for example gaming in 240hz on low detail or less graphically intensive games like CS:GO, in which case you should first buy the best CPU you can afford.
But up to 144hz gaming, for example if you have a GTX 1060 selected in a $1000 build your build could deliver around 30% better gaming performance without increasing the budget by switching some component and buying a 1070.

Above $1400 and when you have your 1080ti already selected, fell free to upgrade the CPU then RAM to 32gb, SSD and HDD, case, etc. Of course you can buy a GTX 1070 in $1200 and get a prettier case instead, that's an ok choice as long as you know that you are missing out on 25% gaming performance to get the pretty case.

really depends on what you're doing.

32GB RAM are overkill unles you do a lot of photo and video works.
the Mainboard is severe overkill
there are good and bad EVGA Supernova PSUs. GS/G2/P2 are good, G3/P3 is excellent, B2 is alright. all others are mediocre.
a better GPU can be on the cards.
however I wouldn't get a 1080Ti if you're using a 1080p screen, that's just a waste of money

I'll look around for a different motherboard so I can afford a better graphics card. I chose 32 GB of RAM instead of 16 because I plan to edit videos or record/stream.
