I think I don't even have to spend that much.. I did a bit of research and found that my old system (With an i5-4460 and a B85 motherboard) would be perfectly fine if I upgraded the CPU and replaced some of the parts that got a bit destroyed such as RAM, hard drive, case etc. It'd cost me around £500-600 but I could get an 850W Corsair PSU, an i7-4770/4790, a Noctua cooler, a 4TB hard drive and a Phanteks case.. 

I don't know if girls would like a case that says "Cougar" in front ?
My statement is half joke and half serious.
 
 

Adaptive Sync is overrated.

Not trying to knock freesync... was just countering the other posters comment. When it comes to no gsync/freesync vs having it there will be a huge different. So either way you will be very satisfied with the results over a standard monitor.

Yes, and since Gsync is, again, overpriced proprietary nonsense, I'd grab the Vega. 

For 1080p both cards are super overkill even for 144, unless you want the latest DMC at 144 for some reason   so basically pick the one you want. The 1080 is considerably faster for the money, yes, but Gsync is and will always be overpriced proprietary nonsense, so there's that.

JK Free Sync Panel with an AMD Card seems reasonable though then again I'm not someone who plays everything on max settings. I myself use a 144hz G-Sync IPS Panel and I would reccomend it though if it's out of your budget it cant be helped

Just auto overclock it then. The 1600X, is, essentially a factory overclocked 1600 with XFR enabled.

Holy crap that is unbalanced. Would you be ok with reducing unneeded cooling capacity in exchange for 1070Ti/Vega 56?
