I am willing to spend around £200 for a motherboard. I wish to get the best motherboard for £200 that would be more than sufficient for intense gaming that would work in harmony with a gtx 1080 and i7 7700k. Any recommendations?

These are the compatible chipsets so don't worry if you see different types
 
You can buy most any Z270 or Z170 motherboard.
The Z motherboards will allow overclocking of the i7-7700K
Lesser chipsets will not allow overclocking.

All modern motherboards will handle a GTX1080.
You will want a quality psu of 500w or so for that card.

What is your case?
The motherboard must be of a size to fit in your case. M-ATX will fit in a larger case, but ATX will not fit in a M-ATX case.
