Thanks. I've decided to settle with 8700k. However, it is kind of hard to squeeze an 8700k and a GTX 1070 into a 1500 dollar budget, as of now. Probably best to wait until GPU prices come down, I suppose (thank you, bitcoin miners, for that).
I'm planning to build a PC with around $1500 budget. I've got my eyes on the new coffee lake i7s for my CPU. However, I'm seeng that there's around $40-50 difference between the 8700k and the 8700 (non-k version).
Is it really worth spending that extra 50 for overclocking capability? Does overclocking really have a unanimous gain in perfomance in P3D? Please help.
