6700K if you have a Z-board.

Paired with a 1080 Ti, I think either an i7 or Ryzen would be much better.

If you've got a 1080 ti, you would definitely want a i7 6700(k). An i5 would bottleneck it quite severely.

A 7700 is your best option if you have a B250 mobo, 6700 if you have an h110 board.

Why not the 7700k?

there's next to no noticeable difference between the 6700k and the 7700k, so going with the cheeper one wont really effect things

sorry edited it to say or the 7700k as its only around £10 pounds more on some sites

it's worth the difference, as it overclocks higher.

Not neccecarily, since you could just BIOS update on an H110.

I would get a 7700 if I could also use things like optane.  TIM is poor.

7700 with poor TIM > 6700 with normal TIM

especially on the non K models
