dude honestly its not the best time to build a new pc. mostly because mining software are hitting a high again with ether, thus completely forking up the gpu market. everything is 50$ over priced.
with that being said. 7700k and 6700k are the same price 98.7% of the time. and ryzen 1800x is awesome but marketed more twords higher theread users. (games/streaming/uploading/rendering) blah blah blah. and 100+ $ more than the 7700k. and "competes"
so unless you want to branch into the new uselss x299 system that will lock you into the biggest joke of the decade so far and loose 1000$ on a bunkly programmed chip.
so the intel chips are a touch more wallet and system friendly but the price point is FORKED. so basically their taking this mining craze ranking up prices and all at the same time making specific lines just for this. (in the next gen lines)
if you have a decent rig and can stay happy for another year till this hardware maze gets straightened out id definitely do that.

( i decided this last week, after wanting to upgrade from my ancient fx8350.) but hey why spend $1500+ on a rig that is probably going to have similar results on similar titles. like while playing bf1 i can play just fine, but people with 7700ks and 1080tis are getting screen tearing and frame drops, because of certain performance issues.... now my frames and drawing distances may not be as dope as theirs. but my kill/death ratio is

The thing is, I want to give my wife my current PC so we can finally game together. It's the FX8320 so it's just under yours. I hear the intel i7 7700k has a lot of heat problems, but I won't be OC'ing it crazy and I'd have liquid cooling so not sure if that will matter. I won't have a 1080 Ti because that'll push me over my budget, I would like the 1080 though.

and scroll around the inter websss and look at reviews for the h100i.
i use it and its great. but fuck if it isnt a problem some times
http://www.gigabyte.us/Motherboard
and the aourus boards get a bit confusing. makes sure your looking at the chipset you want, because they have similar names for boards.
like the x299 gaming 3/7/9 (intel)
and the z270 gaming 3/k3/9 (intel)
and the ab350 gaming 3/9 (amd)

YOU HAVE THE AMD BOARD

That board would work with the ryzen chips, right? Is it a good price / mobo? I'll have a 500GB NVMe SSD in it too.

yes its a great board. gigabit is reputable for quality (close or matched to asus)
yes its an amd board that will work with ryzen
its a great price the og 170$ is accurate.
i was actually going to go with this board because
-as little rgb and lighting as possible (my pc is tucked away, so leds are useless)
-single ethernet (because who pays for two isps to run in team on a board that it hardly works on) (and not in games)
-almost the same ram specs. just missing the 4000mhz for ram hardly anyone spends 200$ on 16gb of ram
-slightly slower ethernet ( top ends use gamefirst tecnology) (and i cant tell you the time difference in these) but almost nothing

so to be honest the high end vs these are all fancy flashy gizmos that you have about 10% chance of actually using. and if you do, you pay extra (like an extra internet line )

if you are set on building a new rig, id definitely get that board as its 60 buck off and just what your looking for (unless you want leds out the ass)
then you can slowly get a good sales price on ram, and the 1600x isnt a bad price at all.

Ahh, so the mobo is actually good? I am assuming the liquid cooler is a great buy as well. I'll grab both of those then.

Just need a CPU / PSU / GPU and RAM now. I'll probably get the same case my current PC has to match my wife when we're gaming together. lol

NZXT Phantaom 410 gun metal gray, I'll get black or the white/blue one most likely. Unless there are some amazing cases that are on a good deal right now too.

but thats a good case, good size, fan/vent locations and such
and yeah its pretty much one of the better boards without the bells and whistles. comparable to asus crosshair
and im not exactly going to recommend the cooler. i have it and its great and all. but the stock fans are loud and alot of people have a bad time with the pumps. as well as air and contaminants in the liquid.
specifically mine tends to literally vibrate off of the cpu hahahahahahh i have to get some stuff to fasten the nuts on the cpu (which im not exactly happy about) BUT IT COOLS GREAT HAHAHA
i dont exactly have a better recommendation, so id say go for it

if you have a few minutes to wait for production and shipping, mass drop has a good thermaltake psu and samsung ssd

i was actually looking for the nzxt case they had but it just ended :(

Shit I already bought the cooler. XD Maybe I will return it.

As for the massdrops, they aren't my cup of tea. I am getting a 500GB NVMe SSD (Samsung Evo 960) for $160. So I am good on storage, I won't get to 500GB, I have used a 250GB SSD the last three-four years and just finally got to like 240GB but I have a ton of shit I never use on it. I'll clear it and give to wife.

I might buy the mobo, but I will wait a few hours.
