@Mighty-Lu-Bu: I'd recommend a mini-itx board, SLI/Crossfire is dead and it's 2017 not 2001, I'd also recommend getting the 6800k then OCing, runs 2x cooler than the 7700k, plus 2 more cores, very small fps difference when Oced, I have the 7700k and it's "VERY" hot, pushing it past 4.5ghz is going to be very hard to do without a professions water cooling unit. Out of the two it really doesn't matter, only real difference is maxed pre-OCed Ram.
What I'd recommend.

Keep in mind he had to "actually" get it to 5Ghz, I am seeing crazy heat with stock 4.5ghz h50. My 5820k runs at 4.5ghz at 2x cooler than the 7700k.
