well, you still have 2300 left! you should get him a 1080Ti atleast, and maybe if you can fit it in a Threadripper or maybe even a Core i9, tough that would be stretching it.

I find it kind of funny that your friend's max budget is 5k USD, but your list only goes up to ~2.3k USD.

 

IMO, the 8700K would be more "OP" than the 1800x. And, at that budget, you should have a 1080Ti. After all, even with the crazy high prices, it'll fit. Also, you should have 1440p. Throw a copy of Windows on, and it's all good.

$5k budget and only a 1080 with a 1080p display? I'd take an 8700k with 1080 Ti (SLI if you must fill the budget :P ) and anice 1440p 144 Hz or 100/120 Hz 1440p ultrawide (whatever fits the budget).

Just gaming?

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.
