Best Upgrade Path?

[BDubbs4Bama]

I am about ready for an upgrade, but I'll have to do it in three steps. Those would be GPU, CPU (and accompanying parts), and Monitor. Currently I have a GTX 970, an FX-8350, and some random office class 1080p monitors. Deciding between the following, which would probably be wisest?

- 1080p 144hz G-sync Monitor

- Ryzen 7 1700 (RAM and MOBO too)

- GTX 1080

I'm leaning toward CPU and waiting to see AMD's offerings with new graphics cards, but I am getting really tired of screen tearing.

I say CPU. Then after that, go with GPU, then monitor.

Yes. The FX series isn't that terrible, but it's pretty much a dead architecture at this time.

In that case, assuming I end up with an AMD GPU and not Nvidia, do y'all know the difference between Freesync and Freesync 2? I've never paid the Nvidia tax at this point for gsync, but it obviously seems to do its job better so far.

FX-8350 with a 1080? A CPU upgrade is much more worth it

Huh? That's what I was saying. Upgrade the CPU.
