well i would not buy a 1080 on that system, since your i7 is really good but not for many years ahead now. i would stick on a 1070 or even 1060 or rx480 and plan a future upgrade of your system. nowadays ddr4 ram and kaby/ryzen processors can really unleash the potential of newer video cards

Hi just wondering I still haven't bought the 1070 yet checking prices they are about £450 would it be better to get something like a EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 SC GAMING or similar as its only an extra £50-£60.Also would my system be ok for a 1080 card.
TY again for the help

Ok thanks for your reply I will get the 1070 then I will probably upgrade the computer fully in about 3 years time when the 1070 starts to drop in performance I didnt feel like a full upgrade atm.
