I was suggesting that the GPU be that component since it will be cheaper and easier to replace down the road than a CPU would be.
1080 cost os about $650 while the 1070 cost is about $450 (give or take)
That's a $200 difference.
An i5-6600k is ~$240 while the i7-6700k is $330
How is the GPU cheaper to replace rather than the CPU?
If he ends up buying a 1070 + a 1080, that's about $1100 in hardware total.
If he buys an i5-6600k + an i7-6700k, that's only $570 in hardware total. I think you really need to learn how to save money, I feel bad for you lol.
