This leaving you 200 bucks for a case. Also you might wanna wait a few days for the new Coffee Lake I7-8700K instead.

Note: The cpu and motherboard will be launching tomorrow, but can take some time to procure. Its the Intel next gen. more powerful processors. Also, prices might vary than provided above but should be around that range.

Only if you specify you will need an OS as well.

You should be able to get a case and OS for $200. But as Hellfire suggested you could get the stronger GTX 1080 TI and lower the CPU to the I5-8600 Instead. Just consider the better samsung SSD than the WD. Also $250 for a mobo, you shoudl be able to find a lot cheaper.
For gaming don't get the Ryzen 7, the new Coffee Lake will blow it away even more than the I7-7700K are already doing.

SSD speeds are already pretty fast, and a faster SSD does not contribute anything extra to gaming. Faster SSD speed are beneficial for non gaming workload only.
The board comes with lots of connectivity options, overclocking potential due to better VRMs and features like superior audio codec with headphone amps, bluetooth and wifi and one of the better bang for buck units.
Agree with the Ryzen though.

I agree with you, the SSD was just for general non gaming workloads, but not a huge deal anyway. For the mobo it depends on the features he need, most people wont use wifi with a desktop, i agree about the Audio codec though, that can make a huge difference in quality. I just always forget that part because i'm running an external studio grade soundcard.

would a 1080ti be overkill for a 1080p 144hz monitor?

Yup, and when you are fetching an unlocked chip the OC part matters as well, and a board with better VRM and power phases can add more value and longevity to the build. What he saves in SSD can be invested on the better board.
Also most games do not even use 4 cores properly. A 6 core i5 should be able to take care of gaming till the foreseeable future. You only go with the 8700k if you want more clock speed. It wont add much to gaming other than that. I am really waiting for the 8700k vs 8600k benchmarks as it seems liek they would be pretty close along with the 7700k.
@Kaspen most of todays boards, specially the high end ones comes with pretty good audio codec and a sound card is a waste of money and resource. If you want really better sound with more refinement, try an external dac/amp setup. Due to its external config and detached shielding, it has no electronic interference and hence more clarity. :)

Edit: OP, you can scale down to a 1070 or 1080 for that monitor. I completely overlooked that part, my bad.

My external sound card is for recording, I have it for the preamps and the better adc/dac and obviously for the jack and xlr connectors. Also for the good low latency asio drivers needed for recording instruments and vocals in a DAW.
I just use it for everyday use as well so I have disabled onboard sound and always forget that it even exist, even it is not the worst codec used on my mobo.
