So, i can either get a 6700k with a 970 and upgrade to a 1080 in a year or so or go 6600k and 1070 now and not get a 1080. I game at 1080 so i think the first would be the best!

6700k and a used 980ti. Upgrade your monitor then go with a 1080ti.

I cant afford a 980ti xD but if i get a 970 i could get a 1080ti (if they release one)

A new 970 costs the same as a used 980ti right now.

I can get one is a sale by my house for like £190 so i want to save money as i can get a nice ssd and stuff.

If you're playing at 1080p then get the 1070. The GTX1080 is meant for 1440p and 2160p.

Ah, then honestly. Get a 390 or 390x if you can. Both should be on sale as well. Especially if you wait until after the Polaris announcements at Computex.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

Would you get a 980ti over a 1070? I know I should wait for benchmarks, but there is one offer for 470 euros and I don't know what to do anymore

A overclocked 1080 is only 5% faster than a overclocked 980ti.

 

So yes.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

Definitely wait for the 1080ti. The 1080 is overpriced for what you get.

So then the GTX 1070 would be better than getting a 1080 at that resolution.

If you're playing at 1080, I'd get the 970 rig. As threads become more important, the i7 will be great.
I'm not upgrading my 970 any time soon as I'm not purchasing a 2/4k monitor any time soon.

I'm not hating. I play a lot of League which will run fine on the 530 found on my processor. 
It's almost laughable to see 300+ frames while playing.
Plus, you'll have the 970 once you can obtain those games you do want.

What you just said was. "I don't have a drug problem because I just smoke, drink a little, and do heroin."

 

JC3 is a killer, you will want that i7 and even with my set up there are areas that make it work.

If anyone asks you never saw me.
