Hey guys,

So Im planning on getting a new GPU(1080ti), ultrawide monitor(3440x1440p @144hz) and im wondering if I should upgrade the MOBO or if there would be a performance difference at all by upgrading?

my specs on this set up:
i7-6700k @ 4.2 ghz
ASRock Z170A-X1/3.1
Asus strix 970 GTX 4gb
16gb corsair vengeance 2400mhz
500gb kingston ssd
800w inwin commander ii gold+

As always I appreciate the advice from the guys at Toms!
