B360 is made for the 8th gen. Physically it is the same socket as for the 7.gen, but the 8.gen are 6.cores, the 7700k is still a 4-core, so this socket is slightly different. What exactly intel doesn't tell you, but the differences are internal, and as far as I know it also affects the power supply of the CPU.
You're in the wrong place with a B chipset anyway, if you want to buy a K CPU, it's best to take a Z chipset, then you can also overclock. If you don't want to overclock anyway, you can just take the normal 7700.
