Lionet, not really. The cpu is good enough, it's 8th gen processor. It's unlocked so I can overclock it if I need to, but it also has 4 cores and 4 threads and it's sitting stock at 4ghz. It's not bottlenecking anything : D
The unlocked i5 is like 30% more expensive and only 10% better performance.
Theres no need for 16gb of ram in games thats for sure, but it finds it needs in multitasking with multipe editing programs for example

MORE DATAAA:
980ti launched in 2015 as well as Intel's skylake processors.
i7-7700k with 4 cores and 8 threads would be a perfect match for 980ti at that time YET it's only 3% "better" than my i3-8350k.
Had I went with 1080ti then yeah that i3 would be kinda wrong pick there, but for nvidia's 9xx series is more than enough
