I am currently in the process of building a PC and I have purchased all the parts other than the GPU and CPU. I have my eyes on a Gigabyte G1 1080 GPU and an Intel I7 6700k CPU, but I was just wanting to know where the cheapest deals are at the moment. I have stupidly passed up on so many of the 1080 deals that come up on here every now and then, and I am regretting doing so now that I have finally committed to a build.
Where Is The Cheapest Place to Get a GTX 1080 GPU?

Is there any sort of price range for these new CPUs? I feel like I will struggle to wait, as I have everything coming in the mail to build the PC other than the GPU and CPU.
Price range not confirmed but I suspect they should not be much more expensive than Ryzen 5/7 CPU's.
The most expensive Ryzen 5 1600x unlocked (6 core) is $230 US dollars, Intel should be aiming for less than $300 US dollars if they want people to be buying an equivalent hex-core processor.
Just look at current Kaby Lake pricing for an idea on what to expect for the Coffee Lake.
If it's cheaper that would be awesome.
i3 8100 quad core and a K skew i3, Intel are stepping up their game finally
pcpartpicker is another resource. Otherwise pop an alert onto your Ozb account for 1080 and 6700k and wait it out.
