Thanks for any recommendations

We were all on Intel's side of the fence for the past 7 years, I don't view stuff with bias, just facts. There's next to no reason to get a 7700k over a Ryzen 1700 in the high end, in practically everything except 1080p gaming, the 1700 either performs identically or better than the 7700k, and is far more futureproofed due to having twice the core count.
If you like the 400c, you can just sub it in bringing the total to around 1250.
Ditch the over the top, overpriced fans, get the Dark Base 900 Pro from Be Quiet! for its dead silent fans, noise dampening foam, tempered glass panel and Qi Wireless charging built in.
Your wifi card is way overpriced.
Why is your system so excessive, yet you only have a 1080, not a 1080 Ti?

Way better, way cheaper, still top end. Ryzen performs identically to a 7700k in gaming above 1080p, OC's to 3.8GHz, past 1800X levels easily and has twice the threads which will gradually become more utilized with DX12 and new engines.
DO NOT replace these fans, they're the best you can buy.

The 1080 is there because I already have the card so I am just splurging on everything else. I got the 1080 before 1080ti was a thing as an upgrade to my current build. Also I am not a huge fan of AMD so I don't really want to switch from intel. The case choice is there because I really like the look and size of the one I picked.
