I mean you do you boo but no that's dumb.

While that is a good board, it doesn't make sense to have your motherboard be the most expensive part of your build.

Far better off with like an R5 2600 + GTX 1070ti/Vega 56

yeah i get that but when the 11 series comes out im planning on buying a gtx 1080ti as the prices will drop and giving my 1060 away so i dont know if i should buy the overkill motherboard now or get a cheaper one and that one later

Ryzen is still perfectly fine for gaming and is easier to cool and comes with neat tech like StoreMI on X470

buy the i7 8700 with a B360 board instead of the 8600K if you're sticking to coffee lake

 

what's your monitor resolution/refresh rate? If it's 1080p there's no reason to buy a 1080ti.

 

if the RX 580 is the same price buy that instead for free-sync savings.

im buying a 144p monitor soon so 1080ti would be better than a 1060  and ive thought about ryzen a lot but i prefer intel for gaming and i will be making a ryzen system next year for my media course as ill be using heavy photoshop

As in a 1440p 144hz IPS display? Hope it's a cheaper free-sync version

By the time you buy your 1080ti next gen GPUs are likely to be out anyways.

You can still easily fit a 1070ti in your current build regaurdless
