I'm not 100% sure so someone can correct me on this, but that 1600x will probably bottle neck your 1080.

I wouldn't think so but if so, I can always return the CPU and buy a 1700 or better

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.

no the x370 prime. Get X370 for the better VRM. And yes get the 1600 the 1600X is a factory overclock. Nothing which you cant do urself.

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.

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