Hello guys. I am really confused and i have no ideea what to choose from these options.
My budget allows me to buy either an i7 7700 + GTX 1070 or i5 7500 + GTX 1080 (not founders ofc :p) .
I can see that the 1080 has around 20-30 fps more than the 1070, but I am afraid that the CPU won't be enough to keep it at 100% GPU and might bottleneck.. On the other hand, GTX 1070 will have no issues with the i7 7700.
I would just pick the 1080 since it grants me more frames... looking to use them for 1440 and naybe 4k gaming if it allows me.
After that (around 2 weeks) will purchase a 144Hz monitor.
Other pieces on my Pc :
- 16 GB Crucial DDR4 2133 Mhz CL15 1.2v
- Gigabyte GAB250M-D3H
- 500W FSP Hexa Plus
- HDD BaraCuda Seagate 1TB 7200 rpm 64MB
Enlighten me guys :)

My first recommendation to you would be to upgrade your power supply. 500w isn't enough for a system so power hungry. Ok coming back to the point I think you should buy an i5 7500 with a gtx 1070 and invest more on your power supply.
P.S. Buy from one of these power supplies https://pcpartpicker.com/products/compare/MfJwrH,LCfp99/

I have just done some research, and it says that it requires a minimum 550W if not going to OC (which I am not) so, definetly will upgrade my PSU but only to 600W.
