if you guys aren't streaming, and don't care about 4k. Getting a GTX 1080 is your best bet for performance. If you do 4k, or 1080p at +60FPS, you should get a 1080 ti.
As far as the CPU is concerned, if all you do is play PC games, and don't do any sort of multi-tasking, these new CPUs don't mean much for you. Most of these newer CPUs aren't going to do anything good for gaming. Some of them, will even hurt gaming performance. Just because it's new doesn't mean it's going to be the greatest.. Even if you spend 2000 dollars on one.
Know what games you want to play. Know when you plan to upgrade. Know your budget. Let's start there.
I'm planning on getting rid of my ryzen 7 1800x and GTX 1080Ti FTW3 in about 2 years. There will be something that will thrash the both of them in two years.. .Or, I may just build a second computer, IDK. But now that I think about it, I'd rather just have two graphics cards, and use one for video editing.
