    Thanks for the input guys. I think I'm gonna wait for the time being since next gen cards are (hopefully) close.

    wait for next gen cards. Then decide whether you want the 1180 or 1080ti.

    You have a 980 Ti, I don't think there's any reason to upgrade your graphics card. Wait for next-gen cards.

    Your current specs are pretty good in my opinion, wait for the next gen if you really feel like you have to upgrade.

    Hey W00sh,
     
    As a user who bumped up from a 980 Ti to a 1080 Ti utilizing the same system, I had an apples-to-apples comparison of the two cards.
     
    Depending on the game (I assume you'll want to play modern GPU-intensive games), and assuming you have the graphical settings maxed out in 1080p as I do, I can tell you that the non-OC'd 980 Ti has hiccups and frame drops far more frequently than the non-OC'd 1080 Ti. It's obvious that there's that difference, but I say it to make a point clear. Your 980 Ti will not run at 144 fps with modern, GPU-intensive games, at 1080p, and even more so at 1600p or even 1440p. The 1080 Ti, however, is able to run 144 fps at 1440p, but not stably. It will swing between 90-120 FPS for the most part, and spike to 144 fps very infrequently- when there's low-med load. The only true means of obtaining 144 fps semi-continuously, is by using SLI with paired 1080 Ti's. And even with that, which I have now, most games run stably at around 130 fps.  Keep in mind that lot of games, however, do not support SLI. And even more to the point, you'll be staring down at an empty wallet after purchasing your second card. Trust me, it's a conflicting feeling. On one hand, you have two 1080 Ti's, while on the other hand, you have enough money for a small fry at McDonald's that has to last you a week.
     
    There's rumors about the 1100 series releasing at the tail-end of 2018, but the CEO of NVIDIA has stated that the series will not be release for some time coming. Dates are only speculative.
     
    Tl;dr: Do what you want with your money, but don't expect miracles from the 1080 Ti just because it's expensive. It will blow your 980 Ti out of the water, but you won't be given the experience you're seeking.

    get the 1600 and the asus strix b350 board, something, profit

    If that's the case. Then all r5 owners might have the potential of unlocking the binned cores. Interesting prospect. A topic for the WAN show no doubt.

    W00SH reacted to MageTank in Ryzen 7 clock-for-clock with Q2 2010 Intel chip   
    Yeah... let's just completely ignore the fact that SuperPi is heavily dependent on ram performance, and that the Intel system is using 2000mhz C9 ram (with extremely tight tRFC) against what looks to be a fairly loose 2666 C12 DDR4 setup. All of this ignoring the triple channel advantage of that Xeon against the dual channel Ryzen chip.
     
    If this is what passes as an accurate comparison of IPC, we've surely fallen off.

    Dont bother with an i5, either go Ryzen 5 or wait a couple weeks for Coffee Lake. Get windows from Kinguin for like $20, put the $100 saved towards either more RAM, or a better GPU.
     
    Something like this would be much better if you can't wait a few weeks

    That's really not a bad deal. It gives me a good overhaul of my system, and gives me room to grow for a while. I think my gpu has another year or 2 in it before that gets replaced. I've always staggered what I replace so it's not a huge amount of money at once.
