Hello everyone,
I'm looking to upgrade my computer and wanted some input.
I'm currently looking to play current games on max settings at 1440p at 144hz. (so 144 fps? g-synced)
A few of my concerns are that I don't really need to upgrade or the upgrades simply wont produce noticeable outcomes.

Now I have already upgraded my GPU in that setup above to a GTX 1080. (Things seem OK but I think there might be a slight bottleneck from the processor)
I also got a new monitor the ASUS ROG PG279Q.

Now my new setup I'm thinking about would be this:

So Ideally my Father needs a new PC and I would give him mine for around $400. Rather than buy him something brand new in that price range. I would keep the GTX 1080 for my build and put the GTX 670 back in for him.
Now what do you guys think? Will I notice an increase in performance? Should I wait for prices to come down or new stuff to come out?
Thanks!!
