I also have an i7 7700k and mine reaches mid to high 80's at the base 4.2Ghz. Ive been to the Intel forums and its been said that this is normal. Consider upgrading to an AIO to cool it, as even at the 4.5Ghz boost, I reached mid 90's. But, for what you're doing, it doesnt seem all that bad. If you start getting into the 90's, then definitely purchase either a high end air cooler or an AIO. At the moment, I have an Antec A40 Pro which does almost nothing to tame it, where now I am upgrading to a Corsair H100i v2 to cool it.
