850 dollars

if the machine is for gaming a better GPU would be a better idea, I would say a 1070, but  if for what ever reason you need a better CPU a 7700K + a 1060 would be just fine, but a 1070 got gaming would give better fps

Just get a used skylake or Kaby Lake i7

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

I think that a used i7 would be a better option than Coffeelake because you already have the board and upgrade your PSU if you want to get a higher end GPU.
