I am currently planning on building a high-end gaming pc. I know it will be expensive, I just need to know if everything listed here is compatible with each other, and if anybody has any recommendations on what 500 gig ssd to get, what case to get, better options for the price, or cheaper alternatives. Thanks in advance for any help given!

List of components:
GeForce GTX 1080 ti
Intel core i7 7700k
Corsair vengeance 2x8gb ram sticks
500gb ssd
Any very strong power supply, preferably 750+ watts
Any quality case I can find (can fit all components, well ventilated)
ASUS MAXIMUS VIII HERO MOTHERBOARD
Windows 10 Pro

You are most welcome. Tried to go with a black/white build since the mobo is that colour. Also went with the MAXIMUS IX HERO as that is the Z270 version of that board which is the latest chipset. The ASUS MAXIMUS VIII HERO is the Z170 chipset, one version older.
