I'm looking for a CPU and motherboard combo to pair with my NVIDIA 1070 Ti. Ideally, I want something from Intel, but I'm open to other suggestions too. My budget is around €165 for each part. Also, I already have Kingston 2x8GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM, so I'm good on that front!

You might want to check out the Intel i5 12600K along with a B760 motherboard. It's a solid match for your setup! Here's a link to the MSi B760 board: [MSI B760 Gaming](https://www.amazon.com/MSI-B760-GAMING-motherboard-Intel/dp/B0BZD3BMZL) and for the CPU: [i5 12600K](https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-12600K-Desktop-Processor-Unlocked/dp/B09FX4D72T). They'll both work well with your 1070 Ti!
Do you have your RAM already? Knowing what you have can help narrow down options better.
I personally went with an i5 10th Gen, and it’s handled my 1070 Ti like a champ. Just make sure whatever motherboard you choose is compatible with the RAM speed and the GPU!
Yes, I've got 2x8GB DDR4 3200MHz from Kingston!
