The Z370 motherboard does not support the i7 7700 CPU. That's why the system does not start. You should return the CPU to the store that you purchased it from and replace it with an i7 8700 instead.

 

Here's the list of CPUs that your motherboard does support. https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z370P-D3-rev-10#support-cpu

CPU: Intel i7 6700k  | Motherboard: Gigabyte Z170x Gaming 5 | RAM: 2x16GB 3000MHz Corsair Vengeance LPX | GPU: Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1080ti | PSU: Corsair RM750x (2018) | Case: BeQuiet SilentBase 800 | Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34 eSports | SSD: Samsung 970 Evo 500GB + Samsung 840 500GB + Crucial MX500 2TB | Monitor: Acer Predator XB271HU + Samsung BX2450

7th gen =/= 8th gen. Always make sure to check what you're buying. Also, a 7700 or an 8700 is a nice bottleneck with a 1050Ti.

If you're ever in doubt when buying parts for your PC, check out the New Builds & Planning section on the forum here. There's always plenty of people happy to help out and give advice, and we would have been able to spot that mistake before you purchased. You can also use http://www.pcpartpicker.com to help build a list and find the best prices, and it will flag any incompatibilities and warn you if components won't work together.

Hopefully the store you bought it from will let you return it or swap it for an 8700. Where did you buy from?

I'm just curious because there isn't even an "8" in the name.

 

anyway, replacing the CPU is the best option.

Don't be so hard on yourself. By the way, you don't need to spend anywhere near 300 dollars on your motherboard. You have a locked processor which means you should not buy any "Z" series motherboard. This is my normal recommendation, but it appears that you want to use 3000mhz RAM which does require a "Z" series board with XMP enabled to take full advantage of.

 

Buy this motherboard and save some money: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/jtH48d/asrock-z270-killer-sliac-atx-lga1151-motherboard-z270-killer-sliac

 

Additionally, I would recommend you return your 1050ti and get an AMD RX580 because it will be much better for performance: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/KQQRsY/gigabyte-radeon-rx-580-8gb-gaming-8g-video-card-gv-rx580gaming-8gd

In your defense Intel is kind of retarded for making 2 different 1151 sockets that are not cros compatible. At a minimum they should have distinguished the new one as 1151 v2 or something like they did the lga 2011 and 2011 v3. Welcome to the PCMR!
