This is a rough draft so any suggestions to make my pc better are welcomed. Feel free to reply with a pcpartlicker link with a better monitor and/or gpu.

I really want to keep a 1440p144hz. I also want the msi 1080ti. But if you guys feel like there is something better/cheaper for the same feel free to reply.

Wouldn't it be bad if I get 1080p and have a 1080ti as a gpu? i've heard something about bottlenecking or something

You have a 980ti, why on earths are you getting a pascal card? you have enough horse power to still game any thing on 1080p until Volta arrives.

If you already have a 980ti, That's plenty of horsepower for that monitor. Skip the GPU or get a 3440x1440 ultrawide. (Even then I think a 980 Ti is probably plenty?)

 

(For reference I got a 4K monitor and upgraded from SLI 970s to a 1080 Ti recently.  I probably didn't NEED to upgrade from the 970s.)

I am running a triple monitor setup while streaming and recording. I've been starting to feel lower fps so I feel like upgrading at this time. Also what's volta? A 1180 ti?

I'm going to be running 4 monitors in total. Well actually I can probably just skip on the monitor I had in the pcpartpikcer list. Basically 3 monitors. Kinda like the 2 gamers one cpu thing

If you plan on using 2 virtual machines out of your actual PC, I suggest you check for a Xeon compatible for your system, so that you have at least 6-8 cores, 6 for game + stream and 8 for 2 x game. Otherwise, you could get rid of your 3 monitors and get a top of the line ultrawide with G-Sync and high refresh rate, like the ASUS ROG Linus reviewed. By the way, I also think that 980 Ti is very good, so just keep it and maybe add another for SLI.

If you have money left in the end you might wanna check your setup in general, if it needs any improvement, like cooling/PSU for internal setup and chairs/keyboard/mouse/desk/headphones/etc for the external.

I see... well the thing is, Volta will be even more impressive jump it was Maxwell to Pascal, and you already waited so long while having a card that is a 1080 at stock, my honest advise would be to hold up to the end of the year as we'll have both Vega and Volta and that should make what you want to do even more do-able at even better pricing.
