I currently have an i5-6600k with a 1060 (6GB). I'm looking to make an upgrade. I can either upgrade my graphics card to a 1080 Ti, or upgrade to a 1080 and upgrade my processor as well.

Any suggestions?

Thank you

I would suggest doing a resource monitor when your gaming, which every part is @ 100% load when FPS starts to lag is the one you want to invest in replacing.

Here's some nice reading of Volta. It's up to you.

The 1080ti is a very good card and should be good for the next few years so you won't be disadvantaged getting one now. But Volta is very close now I think you'd be foolish not to wait especially as you already have a decent card in the 1060.

The Volta Titan V has shown to be 30% faster than a 1080ti but at considerable cost. That's a card that's still a new architecture and not really meant for gaming. Other Volta cards shouldn't eclipse the Titan V flagship performance but you should expect better performance than the 10 series for much the same prices I would guess.
