The GTX 1080 is certainly still a decent 1080p card and upgrading the rest of the system will remove a lot of CPU bottlenecking as the i5-4690k is.. Lets be honest, quite garbage by today's standard.

 

Going for a full upgrade but keeping the 1080 should be doable, we can also keep the NZXT phantom case.

This would leave you with a decent system to put a faster GPU in down the line when you can afford one.

850 Euros should give you a nice system exluding the case and GPU.

Some others will help you with that, like @podkall or @Why_Me

Keep the case and the GPU.

New build, but depending on what you play at what resolution you might be able to ride out that 1080 for a while.

Defintely new cpu/mobo/ram as your first priority. 

Got rid of my old 4690k back in 2021, it was quite noticeable. 

That said, you can keep it around if you wanna play around with some sort of home server or media center.
