I want to build a new rig soon with a 1080 Ti but the problem is that my budget is $1800, and I'm not able to fit a monitor that would benefit from this GPU. 

Heres my build ( try to keep it white theme) if you can make it fit into that budget i would really appreciate it.

Why get the 1080ti if you dont have a 4k monitor? I would get a 1070 paired with a 1700 or 1600X maybe?

GPU's are super pricey right now and I'm not sure if that SSD is the best. Maybe try finding a decent 1440p 60 HZ monitor?

Not quite. GTX 1070 struggles to push 144FPS at 1080p in new triple A games with ultra graphics quality (why buy something high-end that won't get max settings?). Even 60fps i 1440p is somewhat hard to maintain.

A monitor that will benefit from this graphics card will be either 1440p 144Hz or 4K 60Hz, costing more than $500. You will need around $2000 budget to get a build like that, and that's with some sacrifice on the rest of the build

 

In my opinion a better monitor is more important than a better graphics card. No point for a high performance expensive graphics card if you can see what it produces well.
