Hi all, currently in the process of ordering parts for my computer build. Here it is so far.

I am leaning towards a i7-7700k but I am unsure about which MOBO would be best suited for me.

The mobo I would like to have overclocking capability (obviously) and SLI setup for future x2 1080 use. Thanks in advance.

Also so far does my build look fine?

Edit: This was the mobo I was looking at, would it be good for my build or is there better options out there? https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/2Phj4D/asus-strix-z270-e-gaming-atx-lga1151-motherboard-strix-z270-e-gaming

You could replace the 500 GB SSD with a 250 GB SSD and a 2 TB HDD (for the same money). It's nice to have your data, pictures, video files on a different drive, and you'd get quadruple the storage.
any z270 mobo will be fine for what you want just have a look at some within your budget
I'd personally go for the asus rog strix z270f but that's just me I really like the aesthetic looks of that mobo
also just make sure that the mobo you pick has sli support because some don't
and the motherboard you were looking at is fine just as long as you know that you don't need to spend that much
you can also save money on an os by buying an oem key from somewhere like https://softwaregeeks.co.uk
just know that it can only be used once
 
I will take your advice Ben, much appreciated!

And yeah I planned on buying a key I just put the Win. 10 option there so people knew what I planned on running. Thanks!
