IN the process of completing a new PC build, 4k60 smoothly?

[Anti-grandbean]

Christmas will be a good one this year -

Somehow my boyfriend caught wind that I bought him a Playstation Pro, a new 42'' 4k TV (Wall mounted), a new Yamaha sound bar, a ton of games (8 which will be on Christmas, 4 more on pre-order) and new Samsung Edge for Christmas, basically he cheated and looked for them(Or the online pre-orders. Remember kids, log OUT of your accounts when buying super secret gifts).

ANYWAY, sorry rant over.

Parts on my PCpartpicker list have recently gone from purchase to purchased so I know he is buying me a new rig for Christmas. What I want to know is, before he buys the new GPU, will the GTX 1080 be able to run 4k60 smoothly on most games. I do not typically play a ton of AAA titles, I like games like Smite yet I still do play a decent amount of games like Skyrim, Fallout 4, GTA 5 and will get a lot of PC titles this year like Civ 6, Mafia 3 and Dishonored 2.

Parts:

Intel Core i5-6600k
Corsair H80i V2
Asus Z170 Pro Gaming/Aura
G.Skill Ripjaw V 16Gig DDR4
Kingston KC4000 256gig SSD
Seagate Barracuda 3TB HDD
Asus GeForce 1080 GTX ROG Strix
Phantek Enthloo Evolv Glass
Seasonic SS-760XP Platinum
WIndows 10
Creative Labs ZX sound Card
Logitech Z906 5.1 speaker system

MOD EDIT: Please watch the language

the 1080 will definitely play most games at 4k60 smoothly as long as they're not totally maxed out, just make sure to turn off most of the AA settings as you don't need them at 4k anyways.

Yeah that spec would be fine for them kind of games at 4k, just use Geforce Experience to adjust the settings to keep the frame rate smooth.

I would probably spend the extra and get the 6700k for a bit more future longevity

You'll be just fine except you may suffer a little bit in 4k because of your cpu get a i7 6700k.
