First of all, thank you for everyone who helped me pick the parts for my current build! I really appreciate everyone's inputs.
Now, a year and half later, after finally upgrading from 1080P to 1440P, my GTX 770 is having a hard time with Witcher 3 (30-40 fps on Medium settings). I'm wondering whether I should purchase a GTX 980 now, or wait a bit for new offerings from ATI or price drops on the Nvidia side. Seeing that my 770 only lasted me less than 2 years, does it make sense to buy 980 or go up to 980 TI so I don't feel the pressure to upgrade in another 2 years?
Very interested in everyone's advice and thanks in advance! My current build is as follows:
