Got a budget of £1000 (already have G-card) Need help!!

Not sure why your friend said that? This bundle will definitely last that long and possibly even longer with just upgrading the graphics cards.
 
I'm rather new to all this, but to my knowledge, the i8086k is the best intel chip currently available? With only the i9 range that will beat it, but considering that they are well out of your budget, I'm not sure what your friend expects?
 
One reason why I linked Ryzen, board has ability to take another two gens of CPU but , any CPU youve chosen will last 4-10 years... Why, because game developers still haven't codes for multicore properly yet. Only games that truly has , in the Lost Planet Games and they are quite old now ...

He's banging on about skylale X, which is expensive, should be considered for workstation loads as a core costs more then your budget, and Threadripper has come in and but that series of chip almost in a grave ....
People are still running 8 year old second gen Intel i7 2700k and most likely will upgrade when 9th gen or Zen two come out, as there CPUs have lasted the length of time .
Hardware you bought now is already out of date as Intel/amd have mapping 2022 roadmaps and tech . Just the way it is, your weakest link by far is GTX 1060 . Can use an i3 8100 with that, I7 8086k is complete overkill for it

Google who @8 Pack is by the way , and then take note he's slapped and clocked this bundle and offers the aftersupport for his customers

It is basically a better binned 8700K with the Intel tax on top. Not worth an extra £70 imo but as I mentioned above everyone has different views on value for money etc. A few hundred MHz won't make a massive difference in gaming.

Hopefully, I can happily wait as this card handles everygame I play easily. Only issue I had is that my old system could not handle sim racing in VR

Unless your CPU was bottlenecking the GTX 1060 in a big way you're not gonna notice a massive improvement in VR until you upgrade your GPU.

I'm curious, did your friend help with your old rig? What were the specs of it?

Either way I need an upgrade to install a better graphics card as a more powerful one would bottleneck.
