So I want higher performance in games pretty much. I have a 3440 1440p monitor and obviously my RX480 can't load that many pixels (I play like BF1, Witcher, GTA5 and etc). However I might also do a bit of coding in the coming few years. And I was wondering what should I get upgrade first if my main focus is on gaming I guess. Would getting a new gpu give me way higher fps if my cpu seems to bottleneck sometimes? (My cpu goes up to 100% when I'm playing bf1 for some reason..)

CPU: Ryzen 7 1700

GPU: GTX 1080ti

Ram:  Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3000

Motherboard: Asus z370 Prime

CPU fan: Noctua 

PSU: Corsair CS650M 80+ 

Storage: SanDisk Ultra II 480+240, Seagate 1TB SSHD

Case: BeQuiet 600

Monitor: M340CLZ 3440x1440 100Hz

Bf1 is a bit of a cpu hog, its an exception. But anyway, upgrade your gpu first.
