Are you in the US?

This is a good workstation/video editing build, but if it's for gaming, I'd go with a cheaper CPU, cheaper power supply, only 8 GB RAM and then put the money into a GTX 1070 Ti.

I am getting the cpu and motherboard for free. (friend is paying for it)

[minervx]

Get him to buy you a good monitor or a good graphics card.  That will make more of a difference in games than a high-end CPU

Save a bit on the motherboard and cpu. Spend more on the gpu.

Thanks!

if you're only gaming on a 60 hz monitor, you can use an i3-8100 and get the same exact performance.

ok

[minervx]

sorry for a lot of short replies, but there's two enthusiast gaming routes you can go:

 

high refresh rate: 144 hz monitor.  game will perform super-smooth and responsive.  great for fast pace and online games.  in this case, cpu matters as much as gpu

 

high image quality: a 4k 60 hz display w/ ips panel.  cpu doesn't matter that much, but a really good graphics card is needed to power it.  great for atmospheric games

will the 1070 ti be enough for the 4k 60 hz?

[minervx]

you would have to lower some settings.  or you could game at a custom resolution that's somewhere between 1440p and 4k.

if you tone down a few settings.  ultra settings offer diminished returns anyway

ok, thats fine

[minervx]

sorry if i didnt emphasize this, but 4k is very demanding.  you will need to compromise somewhere, but at least with a good monitor of some kind you are able to fully see what your gpu and cpu are putting out

BUILD SOMETHING LIKE THIS....

ACCORDING TO WHAT I HV OBSERVED.....8600K PERFOMS SIMILAR TO THAT OF AN 8700K WHEN IT COMES TO GAMING....

I HV EVEN ADDED IN A GTX 1080...

You should definitely save for a 1080; maybe even a 1080 TI.
