1 - Get a 200 series motherboard, like an H270 this will ensure BIOS is updated and will work with the selected CPU

2 - Unlocked processor with a non-overclokable motherboard? Was this intentional?

3 - WD Red? Get a Blue, it will be faster.

Just a few of my first impressions.

Few adjusted parts:

Changed MB from H170 (non-overclockable) to a Z270 (overclockable) that supports the i7-7700k out of the box. Though an H170 will also fit the i7-7700K (being the same LGA1151), this *may* require a BIOS update if you got a mb that was on the shelf prior to the release of the 7th-gen CPUs.

Furthermore, I removed your Wi-Fi card and got the Asus Z270E with a built-in wireless connectivity already (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth). This will clear up more space inside your chassis for better airflow, will also clear up a PCIe slot, and overall will look better (eliminating the unsightly green-colored PCB of the wireless card).

Changed a couple of other items as well (RAM, PSU, Cooler, Monitor and GPU).

K chip with Z board, or non-k with non-z if you will not overclock. And the 100 series might need a bios update before installing the 7th gen. 200 series works out of the box.

Why a low profile cooler with a mid tower case? http://www.outletpc.com/vz8692-cryorig-h7-crh7aentry-level-cooler.html?utm_source=vz8692-cryorig-h7-crh7aentry-level-cooler&utm_medium=shopping%2Bengine&utm_campaign=pcpartpicker&utm_content=Cryorig%2B-%2B%20%28Cooling%29%20%3E%20CPU%20Fans%20%26%20Heatsinks%20%3E%20Intel%20Processor%20Coolers Should be easier to clean the tower rather than a compact when dust builds up.

Besides the motherboard bios issue:

PSU is not gthat great of quality, got with Seasonic G on sale at newegg
If you cant have hardwired ethernet for internet then use powerline adapter instead of wifi. For gaming, latency is what is most important and the powerline adapter will beat wifi in that.
