Fair enough, I guess. Your build is your dream. :) 

 

The Rampage is an X299 motherboard so you'd be looking at Kaby Lake-X CPUs, and the ROG Maximus is a Z370 motherboard which can be used with an 8th-gen CPU such as the 8700K.

I do not recommend an X299 build for gaming.

Because the X299 platform is meant for workstations.

And it's pretty expensive compared to consumer platforms such as Z370.

 

If I recall correctly, the 8700K gets better performance than a handful of Kaby Lake-X chips.

They're incompatible, you can't.
