Suggestions please? Thanks.

Can we have a budget please?

Is the monitor included in the budget?

Do you need an OS.

Do you need peripherals such as keyboard, mouse or headphones?

To be honest, I do not have a budget, I just want to know the necessary components because im interested in 1440p/144Hz at max settings.

Second, if it were to arm, I do not need an OS and peripherals. Yeah, I need the monitor.

That should do it. Depending on what kind of games you play, you could step down to a 1070 or step up to a 1080Ti.

^^A GTX 1080 is not enough power to take advantage of the 100s in FPS at 1440p that a 144Hz G-sync monitor can take advantage of. It really needs a 1080 Ti. And even with that it won't come near hitting 144FPS in most AAA titles these days. If SLI were still a long term viable option, a GTX 1080 SLI setup would be a good match. Sadly, SLI support is slowly dying (poor scaling, no initial support, etc.). Hopefully the Volta GTX 2080 Ti next year will help for a better single card 1440p/144Hz solution.

To be honest, I do not have a budget, I just want to know the necessary components because im interested in 1440p/144Hz at max settings.

If you want to max out settings with that resolution and refresh rate then the 1080 needs to be at the heart of your build. 4K? 1080Ti.

With a great GPU a great GPU needs to balance things out. The 7700K is more than capable of that. Will it beat the Ryzen 1600? Yes.

What about the monitor? With a beast of a GFX card the monitor can fully fully spread its wings. A 1080p monitor it can't be. That much was said by you and it's simply wasteful to pair a 1080p 60Hz monitor with a 1080. The AOC 27" compliments the build with a bigger than standard(24") screen. A 1ms response time will make any online FPS that much more fair and in real time. With a 144Hz refresh rate racing and flight sims in particular can shine so well without the blur that a 60Hz monitor will have. Movies are just that much more crisp.

With so much real estate on your monitor and two behemoths making sure your gaming is where you want it a cooler is needed. The Cryorig H7 will keep your CPU happy during those gaming sessions.

16GB of RAM is the standard these days.

The foundation of this build needs to meet or exceed that of its residents and its owner. The Z270 fulfills that need.

We have the 7700K, 1080 and 16GB that will need any information VERY quickly. For that reason we need an SSD. A platter based HDD can result in hitching. The 500GB Samsung Evo will avoid any possible hitching(aka over-solicitation of the source drive).

With all these high-end components inside we need plenty of power to feed everyone exactly what they want, safely. The G2 650W does that and more with so many safety features and a 7 year warranty from EVGA. Should you want to upgrade to the 1080Ti one day or replace the 1080 I suggested with the Ti version the recommended PSU meets and exceeds the 1080Ti's sys. reqs..

The case needs to be as elegant as those components which will call it home. The Phanteks case is exactly that.
