A 1080ti would be better currently, but why upgrade now? I would wait for Volta if you could, a 1070 is still pretty powerful. 

Please quote our replys so we get a notification and can reply easily. Never cheap out on a PSU, or I will come to watch the fireworks.

At 60Hz I wouldn't bother upgrading. A 1070 is more than enough at that resolution.

If you were doing 1440p at 144Hz then I would say consider the 1080Ti

But OP would have to upgrade his CPU because a 6600K cannot keep up with cards faster than a 1070. It also affects gameplay smoothness due to big frametime variations and FPS drops.

Definitely agree, anything faster would be bottlenecked by the 6600K

I feel like either option is going to run into some bottlenecking on a 6600k.

If you meant 'i don't think it will live that long' as in the 1070 then don't worry about it, graphics card can last for many years I would recommend waiting for Volta.

If you've got a terminal illness and some cash to splash go for the 1080ti treat yourself, why not.

At 1440p 60hz? It can easily play almost any game max/ultra, it shouldnt have any problems with that.

1070 should be fine, My suggestion is just keep the 1070 and save your money just wait till the new line of gpu's come out.
