I have a 1440p 165hz monitor and my options are either an i5 8600k with a gtx 1080 or an i3 8100 with a gtx 1080 ti. Which one should i get for gaming only.
 
Solution
Definitely the 8600k. The 8100 will do a good job for 60Hz/fps but high fps (144Hz-100 plus fps) is very cpu demanding. Games are starting to benefit from more than 4 cores/threads.
