Z270 chipset motherboard at least.
DDR4-3200MHz ram kit at least.
[strike]You'll need to pick up a 650W PSU at the least of a reliable build/quality.[/strike]
In short, that's a constricted build! You could use some fine tuning. What sort of a budget are we looking at?

Hey, thanks for the response man, I appreciate it. This is going to be a non-overclockable mini itx system for a friend. IMHO the added benefits of going with locked hardware was to keep overall temps down as well as fan RPM noise. The i7 7700 having a lower TDP by 30w compared to the 95w k sku will help me achieve this.

The node 304 is a feature packed itx case with good ventilation in a similar footprint.

The reason I went with the older 7700 is because of the price. The 8700 is overpriced for 4 additional threads, is out of stock and there are only Z-Series motherboards available that are significantly more expensive than their H-Series counterparts.
One of the major questions I have:
Do you know anyone who has had experience in regards to installing a GTX 1080ti into a mini itx case?
If so, do you think the ICX cooler will be able to adequately handle temps in a case that small?
Thanks again for your valuable input!
