Ok.

The way I look at it, your pc is actually kinda outdated.

To the point that if you bought a 1070 or 1080 it will get bottlenecked so hard.

So, this may not sound nice, but you would have to get a new CPU for no bottlenecks to happen.
Which means you basically have to upgrade your whole pc :/
Since you need new RAM, new motherboard, at least a 500-600W PSU, you could probably keep hard drive.

so yea

Sorry mods, I did not read the sticky about asking advice on a new graphics card. I will make a new thread with those guidelines. Feel free to delete this thread.
