or to put basically 

 

Godzilla (7820X system) or Spooky (8700K System) 

 

Use cases!: 

Streaming, Gaming, Video Editing, Possibly 3D Modeling and Rendering, and possible workstation'y tasks 

 

8700k will hopefuly get oc'ed to 5ghz with the 7820x at 4.5ghz , also the 1070ti wont be bought, it'll likely be ethier the 1170 or 1180 that will be going in

If you could wait until September it'd be ideal because of Z390 and coffee lake 8 cores... so you can have all of all worlds, single thread, multi tasking... I personally like the i7 8700k more but if you'll be really asking plenty from it in productivity and can afford the 7820x it certainly makes its sense.

Why aren't you getting a 16 core 1950X if that's your budget?

Left room for an SSD and video card

*should probably double check case compatibility with the 280mm AIO...and RAM QVL for the motherboard.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
