Hi I and upgrading from a budget PC i built 3 years ago. As much fun and frustration i had building this PC i am going for a pre build. My main questions are is it worth going for an i7 over the i5-8600k and how much better performance am i going to get from the 1070 Ti over the 1070? My max budget is £1500 but any money saved under this will be going towards a monitor. I am also a little unsure of the power supply and the cooling system. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Solution
CORSAIR 450W VS SERIES™ VS-450 POWER SUPPLY

That will not run what you have listed not for long anyhow. Very low quality and you should at the least be looking at a HIGH QUALITY 550 watt.

idk what this is but replace that too

and what zerk sais ^ ever more important than the things i mentioned.

 
Hi thanks for the feed back. i did think that the supply and cooler would be insufficient. I have just been informed of this setup. What do you guys think? Again thanks for you help.

''At this budget, by far and away the best deal would be the Ultima X01 https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/configure-review/238/

It's a 'review' spec, which means it has a built-in discount. In this case it's a spec worth about £1700 for a fixed £1480 price. It has an i7 8700k, a GTX 1080, 16gb 3000MHz RAM, a 256gb NVMe SSD, and an HDD. Also has a gold rated PSU and high end CPU cooler.''
