What Motherboard Should I Get.

Solution
Z170 boards require a BIOS update to work with a 7700k. Unless you got a skylake (-6x00) lying around or the shop you're buying from is updating for you, don't get a Z170 but a Z270 board.
Asus & Gigabyte make the best boards, AsRock & MSI struggle with quality control at times.

Also your cooler is borderline alright for this build. The 7700k/7600k run a bit hot. An aircooler for the same money is much more potent, like the Cryorig H5. Otherwise invest in a better AIO liquid cooler if possible.
