https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3tdH29 was wondering if this would be a decent pc for gaming

It is good actually,why not getting tge 8th gen intel?
For PSU that is too much 850w
Better get cheaper one 550w is enough,but if u want get 600/650w its fine
Get like seasonic focus plus gold,it is really good psu

ive been told the 8th gen intel has alot of bugs with it, also i like to go overkill with the psu incase i ever want to upgrade. ill look into some other psu's thought. thanks for the response!

If you are worried about spectre and meltdown, the 7th gen has the same problems. There are no more bugs in the coffeelake than that of the kabylake.

This i7-8700K and GTX1080 combo will perform around 40% better compared to i7-7700K and GTX1070 combo. All high quality components.

The performance gain you get from i7-8700K over i7-7700K is worth getting it. Bugs get patched up with updates and new BIOS release. Yes there are no additional bugs to i7-8700K compared to i7-7700K besides i7-8700K being a new gen CPU there are few performance bugs which have already been solved with new BIOS updates. I would recommend updating BIOS with latest drivers.
