I currently have a msi gaming x gtx 1050ti, and an intel i7-4790k, and i was wandering if i want to upgrade either my CPU, to the new I7-7700K, or my GPU to the MSI GAMING X GTX 1080, but i am not sure which one i should upgrade. i am thinking the graphics card, but perhaps i am wrong. I want to upgrade whatever will give me the biggest performance boost in games.

CPU has a couple of years left.

Lol it's got more than that. It's still one of the most powerful consumer CPU's on the market.

Upgrade the GPU first, that CPU is just fine. I'd go for a 1070.
