Hmm... i guess i would have to change my Motherboard...

Hi, I’m planning to upgrade my current gaming/streaming rig to a 1080 Ti from 1070 Ti. However, I’m afraid that my existing i5 8600K will cause bottlenecking. My i5 8600K is running at factory default. And I have a 600W PSU. I’m upgrading because my monitor is 144Hz and I want to fully utilise it but my 1070 Ti was only able to get around 100-120 FPS for some of the triple A titles like GTA V and Watch_Dogs 2. Any suggestion on the build, will it cause bottlenecking or any issue? Btw I have 16GB of DDR4 ram @2400Mhz and Gigabyte B360M HD3 Motherboard.

HELP! I was using a 8GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM. However, in Task Manager it states “Hardware reserved: 5.2GB”. So I went to purchase another 8GB DDR4 2400Mhz RAM stick. The issue now is the Hardware Reserved memory became 13.8GB. I’ve tried msconfig unticking the maximum memory, I’ve also tried changing the Memory Management option is regedit, I’ve switched memory slots of the two memory, restored BIOS to default settings but nothing works. Any idea how to fix this?
