my standard 1080 can maintain a solid 144fps at 1440p in most titles

A larger ssd would be optimal. As would faster memory.

Get a GTX 1080, or maybe drop the R7 1700 to an R5 1600 and you could possibly fit in a 1080Ti. Do NOT get 4x4GB. Overclock the monitor to 96-120Hz, and now you have a better monitor with better colours, better viewing angles, greater resolution and still sufficiently high refresh rate.
