Can I get some help planning my computer build?

Hey,

I was wondering if anyone could help me plan a build. I have my heart set on a i7-7700k and a variant of a GTX 1080 ti.  My question is what motherboard and any other part would be able to support both a i7-7700k and a GTX 1080 ti. 

Thanks!

 

Edit:  I completely forgot about the 8700k.

do you have any of these parts already. how much would the 7700k cost? is it new or second hand? do you have a budget? does that include a keyboard, mouse, wireless solution or monitor? what are you going to do with your system? have you looked into 1070 ti?

a Z170 mobo with updated BIOS, or Z270 mobo can do that. The main problem is that buying 7700k is dumb when you don't have a mobo for it. 8600k is both faster and cheaper than 7700k, even if it's new CPU vs used CPU. Z370 mobos cost about the same as Z270 mobo when both are used or new. Z370 also lets you upgrade to 9th gen CPUs as well.

CPU: i7-2600K 4751MHz 1.44V (software) --> 1.47V at the back of the socket Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme4 (BCLK: 103.3MHz) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 RAM: Adata XPG 2x8GB DDR3 (XMP: 2133MHz 10-11-11-30 CR2, custom: 2203MHz 10-11-10-26 CR1 tRFC:230 tREFI:14000) GPU: Asus GTX 1070 Dual (Super Jetstream vbios, +70(2025-2088MHz)/+400(8.8Gbps)) SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (main boot drive), Transcend SSD370 128GB PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold Case: Antec P110 Silent, 5 intakes 1 exhaust Monitor: AOC G2460PF 1080p 144Hz (150Hz max w/ DP, 121Hz max w/ HDMI) TN panel Keyboard: Logitech G610 Orion (Cherry MX Blue) with SteelSeries Apex M260 keycaps Mouse: BenQ Zowie FK1

 

Model: HP Omen 17 17-an110ca CPU: i7-8750H (0.125V core & cache, 50mV SA undervolt) GPU: GTX 1060 6GB Mobile (+80/+450, 1650MHz~1750MHz 0.78V~0.85V) RAM: 8+8GB DDR4-2400 18-17-17-39 2T Storage: HP EX920 1TB PCIe x4 M.2 SSD + Crucial MX500 1TB 2.5" SATA SSD, 128GB Toshiba PCIe x2 M.2 SSD (KBG30ZMV128G) gone cooking externally, 1TB Seagate 7200RPM 2.5" HDD (ST1000LM049-2GH172) left outside Monitor: 1080p 126Hz IPS G-sync

Asrock Z370 K6 is what I usually recommend

That's a good point I forgot the 8700k. 

And the i7-9700K?

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
