Hi all, Im looking for opinions and suggestions on this build before i purchase these items. I already have a 750W PSU, an Acer XB270HU monitor and 2TB HDD. I will be using this for mainly gaming and im trying to keep it around $2000 AUD.

Intel - Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
Corsair - H60 54.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
ASRock - Z270M Pro4 Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Zotac - GeForce GTX 1080 8GB AMP! Extreme Video Card
Thermaltake - Core V21 MicroATX Mini Tower Case

Yeah, double the threads too meaning better multitasking under heavy usage and it will last much longer.
AMD's CPU options for the past 9 years or so have been pretty crap, they're great now though.

Can be greatly improved, ditch the AIO, terrible value, the 1700 comes with a fantastic stock cooler.
Ryzen 7 (To my recent surprise) performs identically to the 7700k at above 1080p resolutions, and the extra threads will allow it to remain relevant for much longer.
Spend a bit more and grab the 1080 Ti, as someone with a 1080 and a 1440p 144hz monitor I always find myself looking for that bit more FPS.

Thanks chugalug. This looks like a pretty good option and having a 1080 Ti would be a bonus, I tried squeezing it into my build but it started to become too expensive. Never owned an AMD cpu before but i will definatley consider it due to the fact its on par with the 7700k and about $50 cheaper.
