Hey guys
now im not a total noob by any means, but wanting other people opinions on this topic seeing as prices are crazy right now.
I currently have a 2600k, 16gb ddr3 ram, rx480 4gb

i can only afford 1 upgrade, either a gtx 1080/1080ti or a 8700k 16gb ddr4 mobo combo

already have a 500gb ssd etc and good case psu.
i game mostly and play wow for most of that

what would be the best benefit for me?

thanks guys

rx 480 is plenty and wow is a cpu heavy game

you would benefit more from a platform upgrade, >.>

pretty dam nice bump up from a 2600 > 8700

Oh, I missed the fact, that OP plays WoW. Well then, go with the platform upgrade. Ryzen is also a great value.
