So a 1050ti would do the trick for me for WoW ? and just get the new i5 and OC ?Literally not a single one of the settings that are adjusted by going from 7 to 10 impact the GPU. they are ALL CPU dependent settings. I had a 970 before going to a 1080 (and then a 1080Ti when i passed the 1080 to my wife for her new build) and the 970 was capable of maxing out all the GPU dependent settings with no performance hit at 1080 and only a small one at 4k (via Render Scale). WoW is NOT that GPU dependent. You can almost max all the GPU dependent settings on a 1050Ti.
I had my 8600k at 4.8 @ 1.2v on a 30$ Cryorig H7 during "does this work" testing, at sub 60c even under synthetic load. Unless you get a "bad luck" chip in the silicon lottery and have to push over 1.3v to OC, you dont even need (what people around here consider) a "good" aftermarket cooler. Mind you, i consider "good" anything that performs well and have nothing but good things to say about the H7 and the more expensive (RGB) H7 Quad Lumi. My wifes rig has a 6600K (which ran quite a bit hotter than Coffee Lake) and i put the H7 Quad Lumi in there for her and its keeping everything stable at 4.6Ghz @ 1.29v and under 70c under full stress.
Yeah, GPUs are a nightmare right now. If i were building new, i'd just get a 1050 for MSRP (even in an otherwise super-high-end rig) and wait for prices to come down. Then you'd have a spare GPU in case of issues.

Actually, 21:9 gets a “w” appended to the front.
2560x1080 is wFHD (and it IS correct to call it 1080p, as that is still the picture height)
3440x1440 is wQHD (and can still be correctly called 1440p)
For clarity, most monitor makers will use the actual full resolution number or (more commonly) the wFHD or wQHD monikers.
