I have recently upgraded my PC with a GTX 1080 Ti graphics card, and an i7 7700k Kaby Lake CPU, now however, I can't boot at all into my Linux partition, nor can I even run a live CD to customize the install to use non-free drivers. I tried on another PC to make sure my media wasn't going bad, and I was able to boot into Linux successfully and run the Live CD. Is there anyway to boot a live CD on this hardware and install Linux? I do also have a DisplayPort out on my motherboard for iGPU if that is necessary.

A fully functional GTX 1080 Ti driver is not currently included in the Ubuntu build.
To fix your problem:
Boot into Ubuntu with your monitor connected to integrated graphics port
Download the GeForce drivers from http://geforce.com/drivers/results/120917
- Reboot and connect the monitor to the new graphics card
Eventually the Ubuntu Team will update the drivers for this relatively new hardware in future builds
NOTE: For those who are working with mobos that do not support integrated graphics, one can always install an old, known good PCI graphics card to get video working temporarily. These can be obtained very inexpensively at local recycling shops. This piece of hardware is a very handy troubleshooting item to have around.
Alternately, a much more elegant but slightly more complex workaround can be had using nomodset. Instructions on how to do this can be found at What does `nomodeset` do
