I need a MicroATX board though, and it is a work computer. I do video and audio editing as well as a lot of gaming. What kinds of specific things does a 1080 do that a 1060 doesnt? Plus I want to run stuff at 144hz.

Looks like a pretty nice rig.... is the mATX requirement based on using a specific case? or you just really like mATX?

I love the stock cooler that comes with the Ryzen 7 1700. It's a great cooler, as long as your case has sufficient airflow.
