If I were you, I'd do one of two things. Drop to a 1600, or up it to a 1700. The 1600x isn't really worth the premium over the 1600, and the 1700 would be a nice CPU for that 1080.

Why ASUS ?

ASRock has nice board to I am guessing you are looking for Wi-Fi motherboard and I personally don't think that Auto-Tune software is good. If you think for FanXpert 3 it will just cause instability in Windows and crashes.

What auto-tune software does ASRock have?

And best thing for that motherboard it has 2x M.2 slots which is very very nice addition.
