depends what you are aiming for 1500x is a decent cpu most games still don't go beyond 4 core use. so if you really need max FPS on a FPS game you should have gone intel if you are just playing regular games like RPG or story line games at 1080p or 1440p you should be fine if you get 60fps

1080 ti is far too much for 1080p, at that resolution even a 7700k at 5 GHz will bottleneck it in 99% of games. At 1440p, the 1500X will bottleneck it in many more cases than the 7700k will and it's really not worth it to have a 1080 ti unless you're at 144hz. A 1500X and 1080 ti would be a great fit for 4k60. If you haven't bought the GPU yet, I would consider downgrading to a GTX 1080 or 1070, there's not much use spending $700 on a GPU when you won't be able to tell the difference from a $400 GPU at the resolution you're playing at.
