The 1080 was for budgeting purposes only, to ensure it will fit within his $2,000.

You might have mentioned that. We are not mind readers.

The PSU reference meant, that if he already has a good psu he can skip this item and upgrade to a 6700K.

Again, we are not mind readers.

Gaming machines do not need anything more than 8GB and on that basis I would much rather higher speed modules than slower capacity. But it is open for discussion as this is a forum and the OP can decide.

Face palm. I reiterate from my previous post "This is completely ridiculous. You can get 16GB for this price of slower RAM. User won't notice a difference."

If you're paying 16GB RAM prices, don't buy 8GB of RAM

Pretty simple.

In theory but you've made it very complicated.


Ok so 50% whach'u talkin' bout Willis, 25% bad ideas 25% terrible communication skills 0% troll.
 
Sooo final question..

Wait until March for news of the 1080ti to start this build or do it now, salvaging my 970 in the meantime?

If you want to upgrade the platform currently then have at it. The 970 should still give you very playable performance at reasonable settings until you can decide on the next card you want (or if the Ti will even drop).
