you are making a lot of overpriced choices that give you no advantage, you can easily get a gtx 1080 ti if you make some better choices

also can you wait a bit? coffee lake is coming out soon, an i7 8700k build will most likely be a better choice

if you cant, tell me what budget you weant to stay around and I can try to put together a setup for you

ive read and heard that the 1080TI series doesn't do as well as the regular 1080s.

and id like my budget to stay under $5,000 as much as possible. i can wait, most likely i wont touch anything till xmas NEXT year.

XD the 1080 ti's are a big step up from a vanilla 1080

then for sure wait for the release of coffee lake and then you can make an educated choice

Yes wait, the 8700k and Z370 comes out next month.

1080 ti is a LOT better than the regular 1080.
