I'm looking to get this under £1000. is there any items I can swap that wont be so drastic on the performance, or can i get better performace for the same money?

I want to be able to play most games on ultra setting

Total: £1,034.88 (includes shipping: £0.00)

Yup, an easy few quid saved is by going for an air cooler instead of an AIO. The ancillary benefit is there's less to go wrong and you'll get similar overclocks

Does it have to be mATX format?

8700 boast to 4.3fhz all cores, if gaming at 1080p the. Will be the faster choice .

No it doesn't have to be mATX, I didn't realise that was. I was just looking for one that ran 3200 without needing overclocking

What will the announcement do to prices much?

It's depends, if they sell out of pre-order or of stock Nd have a high backlog, prices will shoot up and will be no need to desrease older cards too much etc

Is the jump from 1070 to 1070TI better than having extra ram and cpu speed?
