The motherboard will not be a bottleneck on this system. You will more be limited by Temps and overclocking room with the Hyper 212 on a toasty chip as the 7700k. But even at stock, you will not bottleneck your 1080. You have no system bottlenecks here.

Hello so I am planning on getting a new build and already set up a pcpartpicker list on what I'm going to buy. But after watching this video

I am currently in need of help figuring out which motherboard I should get with my build

I plan on getting the MSI - Z270-A PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard and even though it says it is compatible with all my other parts in my build I am worried it might be a bottleneck or somehow hinder the performance of my GPU/CPU

If anyone can help me figure this out that would be great, oh and also the already (Purchased) stuff in my build is from my current build

From what I learned watching one of the current Jayz2cents vids, you will bottleneck the GF at most if at all. 

 

He tested a new core I9 and overclocked it, with that even using the 1080 TI more. So the card had reserves to pull with a more potent cpu than the 7th gen Intel.

Main System:

Anghammarad : Asrock Taichi x570, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @4900 MHz. 32 GB DDR4 3600, some NVME SSDs, Gainward Phoenix RTX 3070TI

 

System 2 "Igluna" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

System 3 "Inskah" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

 

On the Road: Acer Aspire 5 Model A515-51G-54FD, Intel Core i5 7200U, 8 GB DDR4 Ram, 120 GB SSD, 1 TB SSD, Intel CPU GFX and Nvidia MX 150, Full HD IPS display

 

Media System "Vio": Aorus Elite AX V2, Ryzen 7 5700X, 64 GB Ram DDR4 3200 Mushkin, 1 275 GB Crucial MX SSD, 1 tb Crucial MX500 SSD. IBM 5015 Megaraid, 4 Seagate Ironwolf 4TB HDD in raid 5, 4 WD RED 4 tb in another Raid 5, Gainward Phoenix GTX 1060

 

(Abit Fatal1ty FP9 IN SLI, C2Duo E8400, 6 GB Ram DDR2 800, far too less diskspace, Gainward Phantom 560 GTX broken need fixing)

 

Nostalgia: Amiga 1200, Tower Build, CPU/FPU/MMU 68EC020, 68030, 68882 @50 Mhz, 10 MByte ram (2 MB Chip, 8 MB Fast), Fast SCSI II, 2 CDRoms, 2 1 GB SCSI II IBM Harddrives, 512 MB Quantum Lightning HDD, self soldered Sync changer to attach VGA displays, WLAN

Spending over 2 kidneys to get rid of bottleneck is idiotic. OP should just buy the best parts he can afford and enjoy the games he wants to play. It's impossible to get rid of bottlenecks so people should stop worrying about it.

That is what I usually do too. I go with the previous gen because the parts usually are cheaper and with that you can spend a little more for really good performance. 

 

Due to being a caffeine junky I think about swapping out my still got Z77 setup with Coffeelake... but that only for the caffeine :P

What I do is buy the newest part currently available on the market, so if I was to do a upgrade today, it would be either AMD Threadripper or Intel X299. I don't do last gen parts, since there is no signification amount being saved, over current gen parts. And I'm spending a huge chuck of money, why spend money on last gen stuffs?

Coffee Lake. I know Intel uses actual location for their codenames, so I looked it up and Coffee Lake is a actual lake located in Wisconsin.

I don't know if it helps, but here's the thing with bottlenecks: set up your requirements first and only worry about bottlenecks if you're not meeting them. However, keep your requirements reasonable. Requiring 4K VR capable is asking for trouble.

 

But in the mean time, I did write up about this:

 

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted
