You dont need a cd drive.

He might WANT one.

He can get one from a list here - https://pcpartpicker.com/products/optical-drive/#sort=price&page=1

@OP - You listed the item as a CD Drive, but it's a CD/DVD writer. Suggest you use the sliders to sort the specs you want for your drive, e.g. read, write, CD, DVD etc.

Ryzen with a 1080ti.

You're looking at 4k 60htz? You don'tnt need a k series i7 for that at all, you do absolutely need a 1080ti though.
