Hi

Yep 8700K and 1080 ti would be a solid choice. Another option would be to go with a Ryzen R7 2700/X for the extra cpu cores.

If you decide to go with the 8700K then make sure you get a good cooler as well, so something like a BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro 4 for air or a good 280mm/360mm AIO if you prefer a liquid cooler.

Any preference on case ?

As long as the gpu fits and you can get a good cooling solution for the cpu.

If you are not fussed about overclocking the cpu then you could go with the non 'K' i7 8700 and a B360/H370 chipset board. You can get away with a lower end cooler this way.

Best thing is to decide on what case you want and go from there
