I already have an Asus ROG MAXIMUS VIII GENE and 32 GB of Ram which CPU would fit best for a GTX 1080?

 

this PC is gonna be for gaming only, at 1080p and 144hz I'm playing a lot of PUBG but I'm not sure if I'm getting held back with my 3770k which is OC'd at 4.20 Ghz I know PUBG is not optimized at all but idk

 

I also have an i5 6600k but I'm not sure if that's enough or still gonna held back with that CPU

Since it's a 1151, I'm sure it'll support up to the latest 8700k.  Basically it's more towards your budget. 

But hey, the 6600k is wa lot faster than the 3770k so maybe u can try that out first.

I tried the 6600k but the game felt somehow worse, like choppy I have to try again overclocking the 6600k to see how it goes, about the budget I would say $350 if I can save that I would use that for an Oculus Rift, I've been over the fence for months to try VR
