Something like this. More cores, ram and faster nvme speed required for your programming part, assuming that you wont be just coding. If that is not the case then you can cut down on RAM and SSD and include a faster graphics card...

1700x and x370 board are waste. You can easily OC the 1700 to 1700x on a b350... http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/overclocking-amd-ryzen,5011-5.html
I decided to go with X370 on purpose. Not for SLI but because of more number of lanes and better OC stability while pushing CPU to the limit.
On CPU well I agree with you as there is minimal gain between R7-1700 and R7-1700X when overclocked. You can save few bucks that way.
The b350 is OCing pretty well currently and unless you are really pushing to extreme OCing, it should do fine. A better monitor is more preferable with that money.

So what do you recommend? I was thinking of getting an i7-7700k, why is the ryzen 7 better? Also, is 4k an option?
Just a few more things - I only need 16 gb of ram, 32 is excessive. I also would prefer a better gaming keyboard and mouse. My budget has increased to £2200, what improvements do you recommend? And why do you recommend Ryzen?
Intel excels in pure gaming. But if you are going to use multithreaded softwares and applications while programming, Ryzen has more cores to offer better scaling. Ryzen can also game pretty well, maybe a tad less than Intel 7700k but when your utility is both gaming and programming, Ryzen is a better choice. It also has more life to it as well as better upgrade path.
These are your improvements.
Much better SSD/GPU/4K Monitor/Keyboard/Mouse along with a good Headset.
27" 1440p G-Sync.(Hellfire 13's requirement met)
Mechanical Keyboard.
Best in class mouse.
Best in range headphones with 7.1 Dolby Surround.
Why you need Ryzen over Intel i7. Hellfire 13 gave a good explanation for that. When you wanna multi task and do productive work like streaming, recording, editing etc. Ryzen R7 is far better performer than Intel i7.
