Hello everyone. So I'm going to build my first computer and it will be a mini-ITX build. I have only swapped some parts before in my prebuilt pc so I need some help. Here's the parts:

GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Ti AERO 8G
CPU: Intel Core i5-7600K
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Seidon 120V V2 (Already owned by me)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B250N-Phoenix WIFI
RAM: HyperX Fury DDR4 2400MHz 16GB
PSU: Corsair CX750m (Already owned by me and its the grey version. They apparently made a green one to)
Chassi: Fractal Design Core 500 Mini-ITX
HDD: Some drives from my old pc :D

So I wonder if the gpu is going to be bottlenecked by the cpu and any please tell me about any other faults that you see. I think I'll try overclocking the gpu a little bit so tell me if i shouldn't do that but I wont overclock the cpu since the motherboard isnt overclockable. The only reason I'm getting the k version of the 7600 is because its a bit better and it only costs like 6 pounds more than the normal 7600 in Sweden where I live. I'm also interested in buying a 1440p 144hz monitor some time in the future so i wonder I also wonder if my cpu is then going to bottleneck the gpu with that monitor.

Thanks in advance for the answers!

No, that AIO would be fine for overclocking however the performance increases may not be enough to justify buying another motherboard. Your (and others) experience could be different but when I overclocked my 4770K from 3.5 to 4.5 the performance increases for gaming was minimal, maybe 5-7 FPS on the games I play (BnS, Division, BF4, WoWs) and the increased heat that was dumped into my room wasn't really worth it. When I do decide on my upgrades I'm definitely skipping on a K series CPU & Z series board as well as high end cooling as I could of done more with the added savings such as a larger SSD, more RAM or even a better GPU.

Sorry! Forgot to say that I already own the cpu cooler and the psu but should I invest in a new cpu cooler? Also do you think that anything will be bottlenecked when i get the new monitor?

I picked your answer as the solution but then I unselected it because I wondered what i would have to do if I bought an overclockable motherboard to overclock the cpu. Would I have to get a new cooler?
