Best you can get for that price is a 1080 (not enough for a 1080Ti). But not all 1080s are necessarily at 600 usd.

I would go for:

1080 is a higher number than 1070 :P

 

Realistically speaking an overclocked 1070 Ti can reach the 1080 most cases I'd personally get one instead as it feels better value but you did ask the "best" for 600$ and well... invest as much time in your question as you want someone to invest answering it.

I thought the Strix was 599, my eyes tricked me lol.

Yeah for only $20 more I would advise the Strix as well.

so a 1070ti sc would perform better then a 1080?

 

no why would it? the GTX 1080 is faster than any GTX 1070ti, and if you overclock it it gets even faster er....

ohhh might be off topic but i have 8gb ram is it enough for gaming?

yes it's ''enough'' but some games might like to use more, also depending on what you have running in the background and what OS you use and how much trash is running on your system, what i'm trying to say is...8GB is enough but not optimal, and an upgrade to 16GB would benefit you.

8GB is ''ok ish'' but 16gb is optimal.

Depends on game, most use less than 8gb but some use slightly more at ultra settings
