Hello, I'm a more casual gamer and in 12th grade. I'm looking to either buy a console or upgrade my GPU for my PC in the future. I'm fortunate enough to have a PC with an i7 4770k and GTX 770 with 8GB of RAM that my parents bought me back in 2014. Recently, I've seen the new Xbox One X stuff and that got me thinking whether I should look to save up some money for a console or GPU in the next 1-2 years.
I currently live in Canada, so I'm guessing that a GTX 1070 (600-700 CAD) is around the price of an Xbox One X console here. Would this be a significant upgrade in terms of running the current games like Forza Horizon 3 (idk what else I'm more "casual" lol) at high/ultra settings at 1080p? Maybe 60 fps? I'm pretty sure that's not possible on my current setup. Will my i7 4770k bottleneck a GTX 1070? If so, I would have to go for a console. I'll probably upgrade my RAM to 16GB sometime in between so I'm guessing that won't be a bottleneck.
Thanks in advance for any advice and recommendations!
EDIT: I heard that console games were not all full 1080p but more like 900 something, so would the PC upgrade be better in all aspects?
