My Build includes:
CPU: i7-6700k
GPU: EVGA GTX 1070 SC
Motherboard: Z170 Pro Gaming
PSU: EVGA Supernova 850B2
RAM: 16Gigs of DDR4
The reason I am trying to upgrade is because I play games at 2k resolution, and my monitor also is 144hz so I want to run games at 144 FPS at 2k resolution. Currently I can usually manager 60 on high-end games at 2k, but that isnt as high as I would like it to be. I was thinking about going to a 1080ti from the 1070, but I'm not sure what would be most beneficial. Any suggestions?
 


You should also offer your RAM amount.

You might as well wait for Vega if you're upgrading to a really high end GPU such as the 1080 Ti. Even if you go with nvidia, prices will go much lower after the Vega release.
I don't think there is a single GPU solution that can really handle 1440p144 at ultra. The 1080 Ti is a "mere" 60% faster then your 1070. If you're budget says you can afford 2x1070 or 2x1080 then that would give you the framerates you want at that resolution. Or you could lower graphics settings.

I was originally going to do the dual 1070s, but after looking at recent AAA titles not even including SLI support. I just want to make sure that what I do upgrade to improves a large majority of my games, and not just improve a select niche of my games for approximately the same price as going to a 1080TI
