so i would have to cut corners on alot but would it be worth it? or should i just stick with the 1060 with better parts

Honestly, Get rid of the  NVME SSD, get  a 500 GB Sata ssd for the same price, Get a 8700k not a 8600k, dont spend 80 on fans and 30 on cable extenstions if your parts are suffering because of that.

The question is, do you need the power of a 1080Ti?

Who doesn't? If you can afford it then why not.

Because you'd be wasting your money if you don't need the power of it.

Because not everyone is a hard-core gamer that needs that much power for 90% of their PC usage time.

Especially when you factor in the power usage, that's a lot of power being used and not utilised correctly.
