Planning to purchase a GTX 1080 Ti for my latest build, focusing on specifics.
No need to upgrade the i7-7700K for 1440p or 4K—just concerned about gaming performance.

It depends on whether you plan to use a 144/240 Hz monitor. If so, overclocking might help keep a steady high refresh rate. For most regular games, it's probably not necessary.

You'll just receive additional frames per second.
These are the top CPU/GPU options for gaming currently.
The decision rests with you once you own them, depending on how you feel about their performance.
Are you sure? That depends on your perspective.
