Do you already have the monitor and such to go with this build?

If not remember that unless you have a high res or high refresh rate panel the 1080 won't really be "worth it".

Is the i7 really necessary?

What are you wanting to do with the build?

yup you need a i7 with a gtx1080. 

[Lilithty]

Well. It depends on what you want. With a 1500$ budget i would recommend something like an i5 a 1070 and a 1080p 144hz monitor OR a 1440p 60hz monitor.

Just to have a pic that will last and play games for at least 3 years on the highest settings

@Thecoslime Ok. Then putting more emphasis on balancing the build would be a good idea. Let me make a parts list that should be better

No, my guy. That's just not right. A 6600k still pushes enough frames for a 1080 on 95% of games.

nope a 6600k won't be that good especially agents a high end card such as a 1080, when someone can afford a 1080 they can spend a bit more for a good cpu.

get window 10 from kinguin 

[Lilithty]

@Thecoslime Here is a more balanced build. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hwvzHN. Includes more storage, a monitor, quality PSU, good motherboard, and a 1070 will continue to push games very well at 1080p for a few years at least.

[Lilithty]

@nerdslayer1 Please stop with that. There is no reason this build needs an i7.

if you can afford a i7 for for a i7, that's a rule of thumb.
