Not what I would go for personally.

What is your budget and currency?
Do you need a monitor?
Do you need a keyboard?
Do you need a mouse?
Do you need an operating system?
What will you use the PC for?

Anything else relevant that you want to add like colour, form factor, overclocking ect.

Around $1300 USD
I have a monitor, keyboard and mouse. Would probably need an operating system and would use it mostly of gaming.

No, that's not a good system. 7700k is a poor choice alone, never mind with an H110 chipset motherboard. PSU is absolutely terrible, especially for the budget. Case is meh. No SSD is tragic.

What monitor(s) are you using this system with?
What kind of games will you be playing, and what programs will you be using, if any?
Will you overclock?
Is mATX an essential?

I want to play all games from tomb raider to csgo to league.
I probs won't overclock.
And an mATX is not essential.

SLI support so you can add a 2nd GTX 1080 at any point if you want. Nice SSD. Much nicer/better case and better quality, fully modular PSU.
