Hello,
I currently use an I7 4790 (non K) +ASUS H97M-E + 16GB (4x4) DDR3 + Zotac gtx 980ti AMP.
I was wondering if I should upgrade to a GTX 1080 or a i7 6700k + Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming 3.
I use my pc mostly for gaming and I got around 750 dollars to spend.

ps.: sorry if I wrote something wrong, english is not my first language :/

That motherboard does not support SLI.
A 1080 is only 26% faster than a 980Ti, I consider 30%+ to be a substantial upgrade. I would not consider that worthwhile.
What reason do you have to upgrade? That system should do fine with anything you throw at it.

I suggest maybe a new SSD, some new peripherals, or maybe a new monitor.

^Agreed with above.

Get more capacity SSD, or a decent power supply if you do not have one. Get a good cpu cooler if you do not have one. Or a new sexy case or monitor. Or quality mouse.

Or more games to play.
