Definitely not.
Thinking about I7-8700K and foregoing monitor for now to stay within budget. I can probably get a decent monitor for cheap used from my university since the graphics design department / major / whatever regularly upgrades their equipment. My research program will thank me for it, and since I'm running jobs that will take weeks a faster processor will greatly reduce wait time.
What is your guys opinion on how long the graphics cards will play for? Like how long until upgrade needed between 1060 vs 1070 vs 1080. I can justify a greater expense if they will last significantly longer before needing an upgrade, but I doubt the difference is great enough that it will justify the cost.

none of these builds will be cost efficient to buy in 2 months from now, cuz all the prices will change
so just post 1-2days prior to when you plan on purchasing
i would purchase the power supply right now though, it's a very good price for the unit.
if u dont care about looks, i can shave down costs and go for pure performance.
if you go with ryzen get a better GPU
it's not worth going SLI/crossfire in the future, you're better off buying the latest single gpu unit when the time comes.
