Hi, looking to build a rig only

[B][Budget] 3k or cheapest possible build excluding GPU, reasons below

[Purpose] 4k or 1440p 60fps games at Ultra settings, I believe a 1080 TI (used) or 2080 (new) would do the job, so a build around either of these GPU would be nice. I would probably get the GPU sometime early next year due to budget constraint, but I do need a functioning rig now

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Peripherals

[Monitor resolution] Already have a 4k TV

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Dota 2, aiming to play games like Nier

[Personal preferences] Don't care about looks, so the rig can be ugly if it could lower the cost

Looks good, thanks. If I am able to add a bit more to my budget, should I be getting an i7-8700 instead? Or is it an overkill?

Yes, it will help increase performance gaming at 2k/4k. It is not overkill.

i7 is not overkill for high end GPUs. It reduces the bottleneck. Bottleneck shifts to the GPU on higher resolution though.

Also, i7-8700 requires a RM150ish cooler. Stock cooler is crap.

Alright noted, thank you very much for the help!
