As the title states, I'm building my own PC off ibuypower and I came up with a setup I like, but I want to make sure if it'll run without any complications, and if it will have problems, to see what they are and how to remedy the problems before buying. Here are the specs currently

Case: Revolt 2
CPU: Intel i7-7700K (no overclocking)
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1050 TI
RAM: 32 GB (16 GB ×2) DDR4-2400
Liquid Cooling: Asetek 550lc
Motherboard: MSI Z170I Gaming Pro AC Mini-ITX -- Wireless AC + Bluetooth, 4x USB 3.0, 3x USB 2.0
PSU: 800 Watt Standard 80 Plus Bronze
Primary storage: 240GB KINGSTON UV400 SATA-3 SSD
Data Hard Drive: 3 TB HDD (brand not given for reasons unknown)
USB Sound Card: 3D Premium Surround Sound Onboard
Additional Software: NZXT CAM- Hardware Monitor Software
Keyboard: iBUYPower Backlit Gaming keyboard
No mouse/mousepad (gonna use my old ones) and my monitor is gonna come from newegg.

My budget is $1700 max and with the PC tower, shipping costs, and monitor, it's all going to cost about $1662.99

I'm mainly worried about the cooling and the PSU. Am I using too much wattage or is my cooling not powerful enough? Or both? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Just know that I'm not looking to build the PC physically myself. So, I'm limited to iBUYPower's selection of parts.
 
It may / will need a BIOS update to support the CPU

If you want it to work buy a Z270/B270 mobo

It needs BIOS 1A which is the 2nd to last BIOS

Core i7 Kabylake i7-7700K 100 4.2 1M 8M B0 91 HD Graphics 630 1150MHz 7980v1A.zip

Most 6th gen mobos will need a BIOS update to support a 7th gen CPU

iBUYPower wouldn't install it to make the motherboard compatible? I mean, it'd sound kind of stupid for a company to sell a computer that they know won't work upon arrival. My main reason for going with the Z170 is that it comes with Bluetooth while none of their Z270 boards mentioned having Bluetooth. If that's the case, I guess I'll just have to downgrade to one of the i5 processors.

You know, I could configure a better config from this ibuypower Revolt 2 Pro:

Operating System :: Windows 10 Home + Office 365 Trial [Free 30-Day !!!] - (64-bit)
Case :: iBUYPOWER Revolt 2 Gaming Case
Case Lighting :: Revolt 2 RGB Case Lighting (Included)
Processor :: Intel® Core™ i7-7700K Processor (4x 4.20GHz/8MB L3 Cache) - Intel® Core™ i7-7700K
iBUYPOWER PowerDrive :: None
Processor Cooling :: Asetek 550LC 120mm Liquid CPU Cooler Standard 120mm Fan [Revolt]
Memory :: 32 GB [16 GB x2] DDR4-3200 Memory Module - GSKILL Ripjaws V
Video Card :: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 - 6GB - EVGA Superclocked (VR-Ready)
Motherboard :: ASRock Z270M-ITX/AC -- 1x PCIe x16, 6x USB 3.0, 2x USB 2.0, 1x M.2 [Intel Optane Ready]
Power Supply :: 750 Watt - EVGA 750GQ - 80 PLUS Gold
Primary Hard Drive :: 64 GB ADATA SP900 SSD - Single Drive FREE Upgrade to 240GB KINGSTON UV400 SATA-3 SSD
Data Hard Drive :: 3 TB Hard Drive -- 64MB Cache, 7200RPM, 6.0Gb/sSingle Drive
Sound Card :: 3D Premium Surround Sound Onboard

@ $1648

You'd get the Z270 MB ready to support that Kabylake i7; just look up the ASROCK Z270 ITX/AC and you'll see that its Wifi module does support Bluetooth , an EVGA GQ 750W 80+ Gold of known good quality rather than a noname 800W Bronze (i7k draws up to 130W for the bad silicon, 1060 ~ 120W so you have tons of excess wattage for any upgrades).
And you'd get a GTX 1060 instead of a GTX 1050 Ti.

Is there something in your config that isn't listed that cause it to be more expensive?

My monitor is going to come from newegg. That'll cost about $184.99 if I remember correctly. Plus there's a $9 headphones (I think the brand is Turtle Beach that iBUYPower includes in the customization options) and the 3 year labor + 1 year parts warranty.
