I would go 7700 + 1080. You are not going to overclock it that much.

Bow down to me humans.

I can't help if you don't quote me. How am I supposed to know if you need my premium support? Now starting at £399.99 a year.

Also, be a sport and mark the correct answer as the correct answer. It will help pour souls in the future when they are stuck and need guidance.

"If it works, proceed to take it apart and 'make it work better.' Then cry for help when it breaks." - Me, about five minutes ago when my train of thought wandered.

Remember kids, A janky solution is still a solution.

Seems like two good choices. 7700K and [1070] get my vote. I'd also recommend a 1440 ultrawide if you're able to afford it.

Decide what monitor you're getting first, and then decide on the hardware you get for it. You could easily get an R5 1600 for less money than an i7-7700, get better performance in multi-threaded tasks, and similar performance in games at 1440p and beyond. That way you could get a GTX 1080 and still probably be cheaper than either of the other options.
