I'm upgrading my system for 4K gaming and am looking for recommendations. I play on my TV so only a solid 60 fps is necessary.
I just purchased a GTX 1080 Ti
Next I am planning on upgrading my CPU from the FX8350 I currently have. What CPU/motherboard is recommended?
I also only have 8 GB of RAM. How important is ti to have 12-16 GB?
 
Solution
A i5 8600k with 16Gb RAM would be perfect but you could save a little with a Ryzen 1600 instead of Intel. You want 16Gb, 8Gb is the bare minimum for modern AAA games.
