I am looking to do a very nice build in the near future and would like a bit of input.

Price .. Well that is a bit open, lets say 2-4K (CDN Funds) I would like to try to buy local so places like Mikes Computer store or Memory Express would be a good place.

I am looking at a build around a i7-8700K but could go for a Ryzen 2700 if sold on the idea

It also should have a 1080ti

Yes this is overkill .. but it is part future proof and part able to do anything I throw at it.

Lets see what you can do with that ...

 

thanks for the input

Systems are tools. Need to know if you are driving nails or screws.

 

This system will be more of a multi tool

It will need to push to a 1440p ultrawide monitor (possibly 2), I do game, I like nice bench marking scores. I would like to do some moderate over clocking (not the 5ghz that I have heard but maybe more the 4.5 level)

Think of a Jack of all trades and a Near master of none

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
