I'm looking to build a PC under $2000 in about a month. I've been researching for over a year and even with countless YouTube reviews and guides I still can't decide. I'm planning on playing titles like csgo, rainbow 6, pub g, and overwatch at 1080p. Is it worth it to buy an 1080Ti? Or is a 1080 enough?

Here's my current configuration:  https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vzJP8Y

Check out the Builder from NZXT, where you can pick games, the resolution and a budget to get recommendations for builds.

Here is an example within your parameters.

 

It really depends on your monitor, is that included in the $2000 budget?
Are you going to overclock?

 

Edit: You can buy Win the creative way to free up some budget.

Save money and get a GTX 1070 Ti instead, then overclock it for close to near GTX 1080 performance levels. Buying a top tier card is always going to be a waste of money due to the price to performance curve falling off at the second to top tier cards. (If you have a sack of money lying around and don't mind spending that extra cash, then all the power to ya - buy the best card out there and enjoy. Otherwise save that money and buy beer / coffee / chocolate / tea instead.)
