graphics card question

[Hexorian]

is the 1080 worth the extra $70 or so over the 1070?

The price difference will be more than $70 for sure.  The cheapest 1080 is $600 MSRP and the most expensive 1070 is $450 - a $150 difference.

I guess only you can really answer that.  The 1080 will do 4K nicely and rock anything less than that.  The 1070 is erally quite nice at 1440p and will kill it at 1080p.  Here are some benchmarks so you can decide for yourself:

If you don't have a monitor yet, I guess you're free to decide how high end you need to go.  That really can only be answered by you - you know what your budget is and what you want to spend on gaming.  I'm still at 1080p so I can't comment on how worth it 4K might be, but if you don't mind spending top dollar for top end stuff, it's an option.  Note that you could even do 1080 SLI, or wait for the 1080 Ti which is probably coming at some point and could be quite impressive.

including the monitor?  I think you could do 1080 and 4K but I might suggest you do 1440p and a 1070
