So I have 1080ti and a i5 8400 I play on a 1440p 165hz gsync monitor should I upgrade to a i7 8700k or watercool the gpu I wanted to see the best performance
 
Solution
an i5-8400 would bottleneck your 1080ti as newer AAA games utilizes 8 threads. So I would suggest that you upgrade your CPU to an i7 as its better for multithreading, which is required in modern games

not for gaming no, ESPECIALLY 144hz+ first gen ryzen sucks pretty bad for this

i5 8600k or i7 8700k


OP could wait a bit and see what the 9900k/9700k benches like
