Intel Core i7-7700K Build - Compatibility Issues?

[Sarge00]

Just hoping a few wise souls will take a minute and let me know whether I'm making any bonehead moves with the following build. Namely:

1) Will everything fit inside the case?
2) Will there be enough and the right kind of connectors?
3) Any other compatibility issues?
4) Would you tweak anything specific?

Thank you!

Intel Core i7-7700K Kaby Lake Quad-Core 4.2 GHz
ASUS ROG Maximus IX Hero Z270 LGA1151 DDR4
MSI GeForce GTX 1080 DirectX 12 GTX 1080 GAMING 8G 8GB 256-Bit
G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 3600
(2x) SAMSUNG 850 EVO 2.5" 500GB SATA III 3-D Vertical Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
(2x) WD Black 1TB Performance Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache
EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 P2 220-P2-1000-XR 80+ PLATINUM 1000W Fully Modular
Corsair Hydro Series H100i GTX Extreme Performance Water / Liquid CPU Cooler. 240mm
be quiet! DARK BASE PRO 900 ATX Full Tower

1) Plenty of cheaper motherboards. ROG is very nice, but also has many many features that you will likely never use.
2) GTX 1080 Ti
3) 256GB NVMe SSD for the OS. 1TB SATA SSD for whatever else, then a single 2-4 TB drive for bulk storage.
4) No need for a 1000W power supply. Even overclocked a single GPU system like that could easily get away with 650W. (Use the savings on the GTX1080 Ti)
5) Full tower case is unnecessary, but if you really want one, go for it. With a single GPU, a mid tower is more than sufficient for airflow.

Great advice! I like the recommendations on hard drives. I haven't been following SSD developments the past few years and NVMe is a bit of a mystery to me but now I'll check it out. I also wasn't sure about the PSU. Sending a few of those dollars to another component might just be what this build needs. Thanks!

Thanks TrAAst! I'll take a look at each of these. Appreciate the help!

Glad to help
You should also get a 280mm AIO if it fits in the case you decide on (fits in any of the 3 I mentioned), noticeably better performance. I recommend the NZXT Kraken x62. Quieter pump and fans so you don't have to buy aftermarket fans on top.

Done! I've switched out the AIO for the NZXT!
