I need it for gaming and running some VMs on

7700k doesn't suit this and you don't need a 7700k for gaming unless its a 144+Hz monitor. Also added a 1080Ti because it was within budget.

use a NVMe m.2 not a sata one you have ample budget. they don't go all the way to 1TB of storage in most cases but they are much faster.

What's your case? you probably don't need the extra fans if you're getting a new case. you could squeezze a 1080TI in this

 

If you're running VM's allot you might want to consider the extra flexibility of Ryzen 7.

See above  Didn't include an NVMe SSD as they aren't worth it tbh. You don't see the gains in applications or on boot. The only time you see the massive speed is file transfers and if you only have 1 drive that's irrelevant. I noticed that was a sata m.2 which is why I put the Samsung 2.5" in my build, nothing wrong with a quality 2.5" SSD.

yeah i was typing before you posted. they aren't much more expensive anymore though so it makes for a good drive when we'll get 10G network eventually *finger's crossed*. it's the kind of thing i carry along in builds. but i'm really not stating sata SSD's are bad in a build comparatively.

I saw this at the bottom:

The motherboard M.2 slot #0 shares bandwidth with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports. When the M.2 slot is populated, two SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports are disabled.
