Hi wondering if it'll be alright to have a i5 8600k with a gtx 1080ti for gaming on ultrawide 1440p. And would there be noticeable difference between the two at this resolution?

You have the screen and graphic card already? or no?
Running nVidia card on FreeSync monitor, you will not be able to use both GSync and FreeSync.

as for the games you currently play, I7 8700k would be useful but not much especially due to the extra price.
Going I7 8700k will make the system more future-proof but with certain gambling factor. For pure gaming rig and the games you play, I5 8600k has the better price/performance value.

It is actually not as simple as that.
Assuming your GPU is already strong enough e.g. 1080Ti, some games do benefit from having I7 8700k while most are already happy with I5 8600k.
To make things simple, perhaps you can simply list the game you play or wanna play.
It is also even better if you can tell us the type of your monitor or at least the refresh rate of your 3440x1440 monitor.

And yes this screen doesn't have G sync but has free sync which doesn't work with nVidia. I know that but this screen is alot cheaper. Was sold on ultrawide curved monitor
