since you have a white case, a white themed pc might be a fun thing to do. 

for mobo i think the asus PRIMe z270A is a really good choice since it has white accents and its the big brother of the all so famous and populair asus z170A. you can pair this with a galax gtx 1080 hall of fame and pick some matching galax hall of fame ddr4 ram. top that off with a 40$ white cablemod extention kit and you got yourself a pretty sollid white themed build.

for cpu cooler i'd choose the kraken x62 since its RGB (AWESOME) so you can pick whatever color you want to match with the white themed build you have.

CPU: Intel Core i7-7700K at 4.8Ghz CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X62 AIO Motherboard: gigabyte Z270X ultra gaming

I'd suggest this:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X62 Liquid CPU Cooler  ($159.98 @ NCIX US) 
Motherboard: MSI Z270 GAMING PRO CARBON ATX LGA1151 Motherboard  ($164.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory  ($106.18 @ Amazon)

Cooler - NZXT Kraken X62 - looks dope and more than enough to cool an overclocked 7700k with ease.

Mobo - MSI Gaming Pro Carbon - White/Black Mobo in a White/Black case. Self explanatory. Good board overall. 

RAM - Corsair LPX - It's white. 2 DIMM kits clock higher than 4 DIMM kits and you can upgrade to 32 if you feel like it.

 

The B2 isn't that bad of a power supply, so I'd keep it. I put the G2 in there for some reason. 

 

idk

the kraken x62 comes pre-filled and has pre applied thermal compound on the heatsink, so you just have to install it and you are ready to go
