If you're regularly going to use the system for older software that cannot use the extra cores of a R7 1700/1700X then stick with Intel, their parts still do better here.

If you're regularly going to use software that can use all the cores/threads of a Ryzen part then I'd go AMD.

If you're just gaming, the choice is yours, at 4K there's not enough difference in performance to separate them:
https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/Ryzen_5_1600/ Even the R7 1600 runs games pretty much as well as the i7 7700K in virtually every bench at 4K and the bigger R7 1700 will be even closer.

Observation: That's a massive PSU, unless you're going SLI in the future a good quality 650Watt unit will be more than enough-and a good deal cheaper.

coozie7 :

At 4K there won't be much difference between a Ryzen R7 1700/1700X and a i7 7700K apart from price, in fact, at that rez you could even use the R7 1600 and not have too many problems: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/Ryzen_5_1600/
If you're going to play at 1440, there's still not much in it, as you can see, but Intel really gains a big advantage at 1080 with a high refresh display.

well if not going for sli in the future.
For sli more watts and stil cheaper than your choice (still very good),

@ Qe58hmr: All looks good to me, no problems that need to be resolved.

Just a few observations:

It's an excellent motherboard but the looks are a little plain for my tastes.

The PSU is vast overkill unless you intend to SLI later and it runs against my tightwad nature not to suggest a cheaper alternative, those linked by Vic 40 are excellent alternatives.
You do know the GTX1080Ti you have chosen is watercooled? If you keep it you may want to go full liquid and skip the H115i.
