Help with building my pc

[Vibrus]

So I am looking to build a gaming pc for around 1500 USD that has the following parts. i7 7700k processor with Nvidia 1070 or 1080 GPU and a 16 GB ram and 2 1TB HDDs as well. So I need help with the rest of the parts as I have no clue of what to pick and what motherboard fits these. so if anyone can suggest a motherboard that is preferably gigabyte if possible, a power supply, cooling unit, and a cool looking high tower case that is see through that is all around 1500 USD I would appreciate it. (If it isn't possible to be around $1500 give me other suggestions please)

The motherboard is mostly personal preference based on the features you want. I'd get a m.2 ssd, preferably Samsung 960 EVO. I have a corsair carbide 600 case and love it. Seasonic makes a great PSU.

Really should be considering 8th gen at this point. 7700K is not going to save you much over the new 6 cores.

Chose a 1TB SSD for OS and games, and a HDD for Storage. Can cut the SSD to 500GB if you need a Windows 10 license.

i7 7700k was introduced January 3, 2017 and is not one of Intel's current 8th Generation Intel Core processors.

With a "k" CPU, you would want a Z270 Chipset model. Not all of the Gigabyte models from 2017 are still sold but some are. Unfortunately, you seem unable to use Gigabyte Compare Tool and don't know what features are different.

You wrote you have "a 16 GB ram". I couldn't tell you if that will work based on such a vague description.

A minimum of 240mm is recommended, as smaller 120mm won't have adequate cooling.

If you want to use a liquid CPU cooler, be sure to pick case that states it will fit the radiator.
