---> if i got extra money i would get i7 8th gen and probably ill get 1070ti or 1080ti . and better make your ram 32gb . since its 8th gen now
 
with my i5 6600k and gtx970 i can play any game on the market on ultra.
only on some games if they are more than 1080p i get slight FPS drops.

P.S.: i5 6600k is much better. not ok it's at 3300 and it has very high bench scores. i dare to say it beats many higher generation CPU's on the market :D

and 1070 as gpu has better performances than 1080. i think its the best gpu available at the moment.
 
I really wanted to future-proof it since I may not update it in a long time. I wanted the i5-7600K build as well but seeing the price is almost identical to the i5-8th gen build, I went for this one..

Agreed, if it's gaming, that i5-7600K I built is more than enough.
Agreed as well, I would prefer a 1070 over a 1070Ti/1080/1080Ti. I've read somewhere that 1080 has almost the same specs with the 1070. Lul at Nvidia
 
crap nvidia . they want profits . i guess 1070ti 8gb will do for your i5 8400 and overclock it a bit higher, if you got good cooling for your processor
