8700+1080Ti is a better choice, if you look at gaming benchmark at 1440p resolution you'll notice that on such GPU the CPU doesn't matter, you'll be surprised but lots of games have almost identical meaning 1-6 FPS difference between Ryzen 3 1200 and 8700K
Some examples using GTX1080 at 1440p
Rise of Tomb Raider = 8700K:92FPS - Ryzen 3 1200:92FPS - FX8370:86FPS
Ghost Recon Wildlans = 8700K:71FPS - Ryzen 3 1200:68FPS
Deus EX:MD = 8700K:70FPS - Ryzen 3 1200:68FPS
Watch Dogs 2 = 8700K:59FPS - Ryzen 3 1200:55FPS
The higher your resolution = higher GPU bottleneck = Less CPU effect on FPS = Faster GPU > More FPS

How many different games are you playing per week? You can go a long ways on a single SSD just by "preloading" it with the game you intend to play that week, just drag and drop it off your HDD into the SSD while you take a 5 minute break. When you get back, enjoy your fast load times.
The average FPS might be the same but the minimum frame rate will be better with 8700K.

I would say wait for black friday to see if some deals come up, but since I'm living in a similar country as you I believe there wont be any black friday deals, just a regular price.

Question is, where exactly is he from...maybe we can provide better thoughts once we know that?
On topic, get a Ti. You have a 240GB ssd which is fast enough. The difference you will get with a new one is not worth it in my opinion.

That really depends if my friends are joining me or not, if my friends are dropping by then i'll be having a weekend lan party, but if they are not then i might just play a single player game which will last me anywhere between 2 to 6 weeks depending on how much time i have on hand.
Yep i feel the pain, those black friday deals make me cringe so hard lol.

why not take the bus for a weekend trip to a country close by, or maybe a good friend/relative can get one in a different country and ship it?
i would wait till next release if you plan on keeping the card for longer, as a 1170/2070 should be cheaper but have same perf.
what about massdrop?

Thank you all for the responses and help, you guys were really responsive and provided me with good suggestions. I have decided to go with the i7 8700(non K ) + GTX 1080 ti Combo above all. I've concluded that this combo will yield me better performance than the rest.
