What would you upgrade next on my rig?

[steVENOM]

Looking at my signature, which is my build, what would you think I could upgrade to better 4k gaming performance? It is generally pretty good 60fps but in almost, all games its somewhat unstable, the degree just depends on the game itself, so what would you upgrade if you had my rig? I'm considering getting a new monitor as I am currently using a 4k 43" TV as my display, or possibly go for an oculus rift. Would you upgrade one of my internal specs, buy an actual gaming monitor (namely this one: http://www.microcenter.com/product/488461/Agon_AG271UG_27_IPS_4K_UHD_Gaming_LED_Monitor), or get a rift to try and jump into the VR side of things, I've never tried VR so that's something I would consider too. What would you do?

I'd leave the specs as they are. I would actually get a 1440p 144hz monitor instead of a 4k monitor.

You already have a 1080 ti, and your cpu is no bottleneck at 4k. Thats the best that it gets unless you get sli

really? how come? is there just not a big enough of a difference? Because I feel like 4k 60 gaming is still in its early stages so I feel like 1440p would be the way to go if it still looks good

Okay, thank you:)

The only thing you'd want to upgrade to would be high refresh rate panels or a faster CPU if you doing stuff where you need it (not gaming, stuff like rendering, photoshop, streaming, ect.)

Nah I just like gaming at high resolutions, but if 1440p is justifiable instead of a 4k one then I'll just go with the 144hz 1440p one

it's not worth it imho, you're just putting more stress on your GPU and having low frame rates. I personally prefer high refresh rate > resolution. In your case, a 1080Ti is more than capable of doing 100+ fps depending on what game you play. 144hz is perfect and its sooo smooth.

It's decided then, I'll look into a 1440p 144hz monitor for my next upgrade, thanks!
