    GTX 1070Ti vs GTX 1080—worth the extra $80~?

    I could get the 1070Ti for $345. 1080 on the other hand, are around $428. Does it worth the extra price? ($80~ in my case.) I plan to upgrade my Motherboard & CPU as well, so I need to save more money here.

    Confused about the maximum RAM speed for an I7-8700

    The specs for it says that it supports "Memory Types: DDR4-2666". Does this mean that even if I use faster (i.e. DDR4-3200) RAM, it will only run at up to 2666? It was recommend that I buy 3200 RAM so I have no idea how it will work if the limit is stuck at 2666.
