There are a handful of games out now which will not stay above 60fps with an i5, but will with an i7. Of course, there are far more which you'll have to drop a graphical setting or two with a 1070 but not a 1080, but at least you'll have the ability to stay over 60 if you want. If your CPU isn't enough, there's simply nothing you can do.

My first choice is "neither", I think the 7600K is a poor value compared with a Ryzen 5 or non-K Intel CPU, but if you can't choose your parts, I'd probably go with the i7 myself.

Your i5 should be able to handle 1440p with no problem. However, You are spending so much on this build, why not just go up to the i7, and take advatnage of the extra threads? I would aso get the 100iv2 to take advantage of the extra fan as well? Other than that, it should be able to handle 1440p wiht no problem.

Again, your i5 is not going to bottle neck your 1080.

I wouldn't worry about overclocking if you are just gaming. You will probably not notice a huge difference. When you are ready to overclock, jsut read up on it. It takes a while. You can do a boost clock, but that's not always going to help.

I would rather have an i7 7700 than an i5 7600K, and in many cases it will be cheaper too. You don't need a Z270 motherboard or an aftermarket cooler, and the extra threads will mean the i7 outperforms even a heavily overclocked i5 in most cases.
