I'd say they'll finish Cersei's storyline off first. Then introduce the white walkers again just at the end.  

Trying to think of what the end game looks like though, how will they tie everything up and have a satisfying end? Will the white walkers be gone and everyone will be happy ever after? Will everyone die? Will they come to some kind of strange stalemate?

I think this is a good possibility. "Winter is coming" has been a major theme throughout the series, even if in the background most of the time. The 'Game of Thrones' doesn't count out the Night's King and is something no one has considered simply because they all thought the white walkers and all were just a myth. Jon and his crew know otherwise because they've seen them, and now he has shown Dany they're real with the cave drawings. I don't think the Night's King has aspirations for the Throne per se, he just wants to turn everyone into white walkers (that's the best way I know how describe it under the influence of a muscle relaxer and a pain med.) 

I think the Night's King is a much bigger threat than Cercei and only Jon understands that at this point. To me, the Game is 'won' when the Night's King is conquered and the 'winner' sits on the throne. Whatever is left of it.

I also love the fact that Jon will not 'bend the knee' to Dany. I think she means well and I know she's been through hell, but she is annoying as all get out. They are very similar in how they got to where they are now in that it has been a hard fought battle and they are the respective king and queen to their people because their people chose them. They are very different in how they get things done; she has a God complex (IMHO) and he's pretty humble; she is the daughter of a mad king and he is a [BLEEP] (no matter who is parents are he is still a [BLEEP].) So they are very alike and very different at the same time. The fact that they're related makes is even more interesting, even if we're the only ones who know about it. Except for Bran.
