i like it. budget but very classy. im always saying monitor arms make all the difference!!

#

if you are looking for a cpu for a 1080ti i would look at upgrading to either am4 or am5, am4 you could get a 5600x to pair perfectly, but with am5 you will have room to upgrade. depends on how much money you have now and how much you are willing to spend later

2600k is still solid

#

well its way better then a i5 760 that's I am still supporting in a relatives daily system

#

For a 1080 ti I’d get a 7th gen i5

#

Or newer

#

A 5600x is also good

but then new mobo and ram not cheap

#

Well it’s next to a 6600 so I think a 5600x actually would do nicely
