That's a maybe on that last part, but it will long term be far better, and a much more suitable option given that with a 1080 Ti you should be aiming to go to 4k 60Hz or 1440p 144hz later when you can afford the upgrade anyway.

It most probably will bottleneck (if VSync is off, that is). This is not because the CPU is too weak for 1080p (it's perfectly fine for it, really), but because your GPU is very overpowered for this resolution.

At least get a 1440p monitor for a 1080 Ti.

i already have a system and a 1920x1080 144hz monitor do im not planning to upgrade.I want to get 144+ fps to get the full potential of my monitor.
i have made a system right here:

Completely new build.
A 1080 Ti will be fine maxed with your current monitor.
Stick with the RGB RAM if you want, but it's not a good use of money.
Sell your old PC for $250, carry over the HDD.

Better value list.
Note that you will also need a fresh windows license with a new motherboard if you bought an OEM install two years ago.

are you sure about the ryzen 7 1700?
im not really sticking with amd i mean i dont really care which one i choose.The only thing i care is about the performance.
I mean,if lets suppose that the 6700K is in this build and will it be better in performance and future games?

Every CPU in the 200-250$ price bracket will bottleneck your 1080Ti @ 1080p.
If you want to eliminate it completely i would say you would need a i7 7700K. A i5 7600K would do you fine too though.
If you want to stick with Ryzen i would recommend a 1600X at least, and it is critical that you get your memory to run at its rated timing of 3000MHz, which may require some manual tuning.

Yes i'm sure, it's a far better choice, and will perform much better overall, last longer and perform identically to the 7700k in gaming.
In the future, thread utilization for CPUs in games will rise, meaning more cores will be fully and properly used.
The 7700k has 4 physical cores with hyperthreading, a total of 8 threads.
The Ryzen 1700 has 8 physical cores with AMD's version of hyperthreading, a total of 16 threads.
They perform identically in gaming now above 1080p, but there's no doubt in my mind that Ryzen's gaming performance will increase dramatically over time.

If you're at 1080p 144hz the 7700k shouldn't even be a consideration, it's a high end chip.
Short term, yes it will perform better than Ryzen at 1080p.
Long term when you move onto higher resolutions?
The 1700 performs identically above 1080p to the 7700k give or take a few frames either way, and with higher thread utilization coming into play with newer engines and DX12, it seems silly to invest MORE into a CPU that while temporarily may give you better performance, will fall behind in future.

I forgot to add this at the start, but @OP's budget isn't really suitable for either a 7700k or a 1700 anyway, so I think its more a question of will the 1600 work, since it is still a very highly capable CPU, and can easily be OC'd well.

what do you mean that ryzens cpu's gaming performance will increase so should i wait for newer ryzen or amd in general cpu's? btw 1080p gaming at 144hz the 7700k is much better but will the ryzen 1700 be better at future games at 1080p 144hz?

they DO NOT have equal performance in gaming

for 1080p 144hz its not even a choice, i7 7700k


for YEARS people have predicted the multi core kingdom XD

@Maxalge, its moved from an i5 to multicore in the past two years, now with more competition and newer engines/DX12 thread utilization is going to be big. Multi-core utilization has only really started in around 2015, and even now there's a reason nobody recommends i5s anymore. At 1080p the 7700k does win, but i'm saying for a start it isn't in the price range, and the 1600 would be more suitable and better value over an i5 here.
