Possible upgrades

[xDylanio]

Hey I was wondering what I could get in regards to upgrading my pc to be better. I've asked before and they said that for now my pc is pretty overkill as it is. So right now I'm wondering what should I upgrade in the future.

still overkill but AMD Ryzen is coming soon, maybe upgrade to 8c/16t?

if you play at 1080p your fine, anything higher and id be getting a 1070 SLI/1080 but your cpus fine and i think the gpu should be first but if you still play 1080p your fine for a couple more years tbh

980Ti is on par or just a little worse than 1070, don't spread misinformation.

Okay so if I understand, I should upgrade my GPU, Because i'm playing games at 2560x1440. If so it should most likely be a 1080? Or should I wait for a 1080 TI? Also for my cpu I should wait for an amd cpu? And on a side note, droidbot, what is a  8c/16t ,what is that? Sorry i'm fairly new to this.

8 cores, 16 threads. 

980Ti is good for 1440p, if you want to go 4k go TitanXPascal or 1080 or wait for 1080Ti.

i'm playing games at 2560x1440 144hz and my Titan X Pascal still can struggle with a few dips to below 40 when i max everything out on games like gta 5 with all the advanced graphics on, msaa x4 and so on, but id say get a 1080ti when it comes out
