Got i7-7700K & RAM - Need Everything Else

[BillHicksRIP]

Looking at a new build which hoping will last a few years. Will be used for gaming and internets only. Have picked up the 7700K and RAM from the MM and looking to build something around the Noctis case which I really like the look of. I'm looking at gaming at 1440p on a 27" G-Sync monitor but still mulling my options over on that one. Can the planned components be bettered around a similar price range for each? Thanks.

Already have:
Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz (Kaby Lake) Socket LGA1151 Processor
32GB (2x16GB) Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX Black PC4-24000 (3000)

Here's what I'm thinking of:

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Zotac GeForce GTX 1070 AMP Extreme Spectra RGB 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £409.99
• 1 x NZXT Noctis 450 Matte Black Mid-Tower Chassis= £126.95
• 1 x EVGA Supernova G2 650W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply= £99.95
• 1 x Samsung 500GB 850 EVO SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps 32 Layer 3D V-NAND Solid State Drive (MZ-75E500B/EU)= £149.99
• 1 x Asus ROG Strix Z270G Gaming Intel Z270 (Socket 1151) DDR4 Micro ATX Motherboard= £184.99
• 2 x Lamptron FlexLight Pro - 12 LEDs - Red= £7.99
• 4 x OcUK Value SATA-II 45cm Red Data Cable (NLRB-302LOCK)= £1.39

Total: £1,008.11
(includes shipping: £14.70)

Whoops! Forgot about a cooler. Knew there was something I was forgetting, and I'm open to suggestions. Thanks for the tip about the mini-ATX board - am erring on the side of the Asus ROG Strix-Z270E as it has 2 RGB-LED headers as I want 2 LED strips in it. Thanks.

Thanks for the recommendations and have made some alterations. I've gone with the 1080 and the Aorus mobo and with a Super Flower 650w Plus Gold simply because I've seen them talked up so much on the forums. Still trying to decide on a cooler. Don't intend to be overclocking.
