I am building my first computer and i would like to get some comments on my choice of parts.
I am 16 and im building my dream pc that could run ultra settings on any game 4k without a problem.
If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated.

Here are the components
CPU: Intel - Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: CRYORIG - R1 Ultimate 76.0 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus - MAXIMUS IX HERO ATX LGA1151
Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
Storage: Samsung - 960 PRO 512GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive
Seagate - BarraCuda Pro 4TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Asus - GeForce GTX 1080 8GB ROG STRIX Video Card (Base clocked 1835MHz)
Case: Corsair - Crystal 570X RGB ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair - RMx White 750W Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

8700k is better than 7700k and will last you longer.
32gb of RAM is overkill for gaming even on ultra settings. There is no way you can use that much.
You wont find any difference in performance between Samsung 960 Evo and Pro in gaming.
SLI support is not good for all games and not recommended. One single bigger card will give you consistent performance across all games.

The higher priced component doesnt always have the best value. Your build has been optimized for maximum performance...

Would this graphics card be ok https://www.amazon.com/ROG-STRIX-GTX1080TI-O11G-GAMING-GeForce-DisplayPort-Overclocked-Graphics/dp/B06XXZBPHZ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1507574305&sr=8-2&keywords=Geforce%2Bgtx%2B1080ti&th=1
Also about the CPU cooler, it's height is 168.3mm and the maximum supported CPU cooler height is 170mm in the Corsair Crystal 570X case, will that still fit taking into account the motherboard and such.

That card is fine, you can get it if you want.
PCPP is pretty accurate, and if there would have been incompatibility between case and cooler, it would have flagged it. You can speak to Corsair customer support once just to be sure before purchase. I have never built in that case so cannot confirm confidently. It should fit ideally.
