A lot of people don't realize this, but a bottleneck will always be there.  What you need to get rid of is a bottleneck that you will actually notice.  A GTX 1080 with that i9 is not going to cause a bottleneck you will notice.  Lastly, ignore bottleneck and wattage calculators as they are flawed as fuck.

And also people characterise a bottleneck as 'If you get bottle necked, then you computer goes NO faster' when what really happens is a progressive decrease in efficiency the farther apart the GPU and CPU are.  This is why when we see benchmarks of a 1080 Ti paird with every mainline GPU going back some 6-8 generations, you only see a moderate decline in framerate.  Every benchmark like that shows that a 1080 Ti with a i5 2400 would STILL be pretty kickass, just not AS kickass as it would be with an i7 8700.

I also feel people are are too sensitive about not making the most of their machine. Did you buy an ATX motherboard? Count how many ports/slots/etc are open. Now come back and tell me you want to make the most out of your machine.

 

Establish what you want your computer to do first, but be reasonable about it. If your computer is not meeting those requirements, then you start looking for deficiencies in the system. Don't look for deficiencies and lose sleep over that they exist.

Most people dont need new machines, most people only need a cheap oem pc say a dell for $150-$200 rather then a $500 pc
