Is this a good configuration?:
i7 7700 (not k, i don't overclock)
H170 / H270
1070 strix
DDR4 16gb Hyper x 2133Hz
Master Box 5 (Case CM)

This configuration will fit in this case?

Well of course it depends on what's it for but ....

1. The i7 will benefit you in workstation type applications, miniscule impact in gaming ... so if a gaming box, I'd go for the 7600. The $85 could be better spent elsewhere.

2. I can't imagine installing a non k in this day and age of 1 click overclocking. 7600k is $20 more.

3. Use the H270 for non K processors / z 270 for k series. Make sure that the one you choose doesn't have a cheapo sound solution which is very common in this generation of boards. The thing is, once you get to the price niche where you get the ALC 1220 sound solution on a H270 board, the Z270 is almost the same price.

The MSI H270 Gaming Pro Carbon come sin about $130 and has ALC 1220. The Gigabyte...

The MSI H270 Gaming Pro Carbon come sin about $130 and has ALC 1220. The Gigabyte GA-H270-Gaming 3 also has it and comes in at $95 on newegg at the moment.

4. The 1070 is a fine card for 1440p, tho the strix would not be my choice.

5. DDR4 doesn't seem to really bump up in price will ya pass 3200 ... Id get the highest MoBo supports

As to the case, it's a bit too inexpensive for my tastes, but it is an ATX case and therefore will fit any ATX MoBo and just about any ATX PSU.

Grab one of these and you are good to go
