All that goodness to stare at 1 monitor

Cheaping out on the storage

Just make sure that your processor can support 3000MHz

Another monitor is on the to-do list.

Don't know what that means but ok

Yeah double check you're not wasting money on the RAM if it can't even handle it, may get capped at 2133 mhz.

Also, I'd get a beefier PSU.

how much it all cost?

[The Undefeated]

Why 7700k with a 1060?

If you're only gonna game, you better go off with a 7600k, a cheaper cooler and invest in a better SSD.

I'd recommend a 1070 over the 1060. I had a 1060 but it just wasn't enough so I had to upgrade to a 1070 and the difference is night and day.

Not just for gaming purposes though. Also already plan on getting a better SSD down the road, just not at the moment.

Around 1.4k Pounds.

Slaving

Yeah the $56 SSD is kind of pointless, you're not getting great performance. You might as well just keep the HDD. I'd recommend getting a 256GB 960 EVO, which costs 2x as much but you're getting twice the storage and 6.4x the speed.

Kingston A400 Specs:
Max Seq Read: 500MBps
Max Seq Write: 320MBps

Samsung 960 Evo Specs:
Max Seq Read: 3200 MBps
Max Seq Write: 1500MBps

Also the life of the 960 EVO is 50% more, 1.5M hours vs 1M hours. 

The 3000MHz is not supported on the i7 7700k, only 2133 MHz / 2400 MHz. Your motherboard maybe can support up to 4000MHz, but not your processor. Motherboard selection is okay, VRam is a bit high even with games that use ID's MegaTexturing - maybe align the price into some other performance aspect of graphics.
