Hello. This is my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/EliteKnightRamza/saved/DrdbvK
I'm struggling with the motherboard, GPU, and case. There's ~20 or so choices in each respective category. I need some help picking what's best for my build here.
The motherboard: so many choices within 10 or 20 dollars. Are they all going to pretty much perform the same? Overclocking is very important to me so I want something that will handle OCing well and also has an easy to use BIOS. I really need the biggest help here because there's so many choices. I sorted a bunch here that are all compatible with my build: What to get and why?

The GPU: My understanding is there isn't much difference between the 1080 brand. I went EVGA because their customer service. I was thinking of getting the Zotac AMP!, the EVGA SC, or the EVGA FTW. All are within 30$ of each other. What should I get and why?
The case: same problem as the motherboard. There's just so many options. People say case doesn't really matter but my old case in my build 5 years ago was kind of noisy and had no dust filters so it needed to be cleaned often. I'd like a case that has great airflow since I will be overclocking CPU, GPU, and RAM, and I'd like dust filters and something easy to clean. The case I picked is kind of pricey at 125$. If it's worth it I'll pay it, but could I get by with something cheaper that will still perform well?
Feel free to critique the rest of the build as well.

You're retarded.

Cool. Answer the questions in the OP though.

>The case
There should be plenty that fit your needs, as long as it fits one or two fans in the front and has decent quality. You might want to decouple your hard drives for silence.

ok
Zen soon, Kaby already out
1080 Ti and Vega soon
you're retarded

no thanks
>1080 TI
It will be too expensive for my build, likely 300$+ more expensive

Your age is showing anon.

AMD will lower prices, 1080 Ti will very likely be at the same price the 1080 is at currently. Nvidia has never launched a non-Titan series card above $800 (8800 Ultra), and hasn't gone above $700 since 2007.

You genuinely believe jewvidia will just lower the price of the current 1080 and let the 1080TI cost the same as a 1080 does now, which would be 580-650$?
They won't adjust the 1080 price and they will make the 1080 TI cost 2-3 hundred more. They have no competition atm at this level so they aren't even going to release the TI until AMD puts something out that can compete with a 1080.

Is it worth paying 20$ more to upgrade from i7 6700k to i7 7700k? Is Kaby Lake a straight upgrade? I see people commenting on this board that the 7700k actually performs worse and doesn't OC as well.

Which is what Vega is, a 4096 shader chip at 1500mhz~ isn't a small deal. Polaris is 2304 shaders and 1266mhz.
Even if you hate AMD, they're gonna lower prices.
