Need help! Pimax 8K Ready PC (€1000 budget!)

[Struyk]

With the Pimax 8K ( Google the Kickstarter ) around the corner it's time to upgrade my system.
The Pimax 8k requires a GTX 1070+ GPU so I went for the 1070TI
I currenly have a €1000 budget and can keep some parts from my current PC.
I will order the parts at around the 10th of December which means I can get the 1070TI or anything else that is coming up.


So far I got planned:

Intel Core i5-8600K
Nvidia GTX 1070TI ( Inno3d or €100 more for MSI?! )
HyperX Fury DDR4 2666 C15 2x8GB ( or cheaper lower speed and overclock it? Ballistix Sports? )
ASRock Z370 Killer SLI

Price difference between $ and € is huge.. Should I buy everything from the US Amazon?


I will keep from my old build:

M12II Bronze Evo Edition 520W Power Supply
Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler Universal Tower cooler
Seagate Barracuda 1TB ( will update later )
Evo 850 SSD 240GB ( will update later )

So what do you guys think? Will the 1070TI be enough? 7600k or 8600k? which manufacturers?
Any suggestions are welcome, if someone could link me a nice article about RAM / CPU overclocking that would be great as well!

Go for the 8600K and a Z370 motherboard.
Don't expect to get cheaper and slower RAM and then be able to overclock them much above manufacture specs. If anything pay the small extra cost to get 3000 or 3200MHz RAM.

Buying everything from US means you country will add a lot of extra tax on it, so not worth it doing that.

Just tried buying a 1080 on amazon, it is actually still €30 cheaper after taxes lol
What if I buy everything at once,will there still be an import tax on every component?

Forgot about the z370

What's the HDMI slot on a mobo actually used for?

Yes there is, and not to mention the hassle if you need to RMA something. Stick to buying from within Europe, you can use German Amazon if you like.

Just checked amazon.de, it's almost the same as alternate.nl for me, alternate is just a little bit cheaper.

So wait for the benchmarks to decide which GPU manufacturer?
