looking to buy a computer for around 1500 USD  purposed for gaming only , price includes peripheral , monitor and everything (building from scratch ) .
Too many things to look for cant really decide what compromises i should make to gain the most performance out of it, is it possible to crank 1080 ti with out a bottle nick? or should i an rtx ? stick with a normal 1080 ?  . xD

1070ti or Bega 56 will suffice. 1080ti is only doable if $1500 doesnt include peripherals without trashing key components.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ what do u think of this one 

 

umm you need to copy the permalink from the site itself, right above the part list. The one you copied is universal and does not point to your build specifically.

For a pure gaming build, you gain almost nothing going up to the 2700 line. 2600X is faster in gaming with about 2 exceptions, and that's only because UbiSoft's engine division needs to be smacked upside the head a few times.

 

The Tomahawk is the best, low-cost B450 board. Don't scrimp on the primary SSD. Get a solid name there.  1080 Ti is utterly overkill for 1080p gaming unless you have a 240 Hz/1080p panel or a high-refresh 1440p panel. Neither of which you'd be able to fit in that type of budget.

Performance is limited by the Monitor, which is limited by the space you have to place your computer. If you want to go to 1440p/60Hz panel, a 1070 Ti might be more appropriate.

Something like that at 290USD, would suggest this type of build.

I'd put 20 more towards a cooler and about that much as well for a little nicer case.

 

Check on the motherboard though, as some of the Z370s are a bit weak in the VRM department.
