Hello, at the moment I'm planning on buying a Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 1080 along with an intel i7-8700 (non K), I need advice for a good motherboard that will provide the full potential (appearance doesn't matter), furthermore advice for a power supply, RAM (16), and SSD as well as HDD is appreciated. Lastly will I need an aftermarket cooler?
 
Solution
get whatever mobo equipped with metal reinforced pcie x16 slot, b360 be a good pair for single graphic card.
micro atx usually cheaper.
1 tb ssd, skimp dying breed spindle hdd.
wait for rtx 2080, expected to perform as good as gtx 1080ti but offers new real time ray tracing stuff that will make games more life like graphic
You will need an aftermarket cooler or the 8700 will thermal throttle, reducing performance. You can get a cooler master EVO 212 for $25 or so. For motherboard, I would recommend a solid B360 Asrock Pro4.
