I originally built my computer in 2012, so pretty much all of my parts are relatively old. I've been looking to upgrade and I've eyeing a 1080 or possibly a 1080ti/Vega10 if those are good. My current 7970 is starting to struggle in games.

My current CPU is a 3770k paired with 16gb of RAM. Will that bottleneck a 1080ti/Vega10? How long will this CPU be relevant before I need to upgrade?

I don't know if this belongs in CPU or graphics... sorry if this is the wrong category!
 
Solution
I think your CPU is plenty up until SLI 1080's. Intel has been a bit "asleep at the wheel" when it comes to performance gains. The real improvements have been efficiency and improved iGP's.
