Looking to upgrade my PC somewhat.

What parts do i swap for best value?

As i see it, i should be able to get a gtx1080 without bottlenecking to much with the cpu? or even a 1080ti? Is the 1070ti something to consider?

Is it Worth also upgrading motherboard,ram and CPU to Intels 8th gen?

Budget is somewhat high but NOT unlimited! :D All parts bought around november 2015.

Throw a new gpu in there and it'll be fine.

What do you use the PC for?

Atm all i play is World of warcraft ^^

I want to play abit more graphicsheavy games soon. Or atleast be able to.

 

I also like to stream ( don't do it that often but i want to be able to)

What GPU should i get? Will the CPU bottleneck me?
