I have a quad hd g-sync lcd, a gtx 1070 and a Ryzen 1600. Is it a good idea to get a 1080ti if I can get one for a pretty good price? I know turing is close but I doubt the GTX 1180 will be that much faster then a 1080ti. What do you guys think? Also, I have 2400 mhz ddr4 because I didn't have enough money at the time for faster ram. Will it cause a huge difference in FPS in games at 2560 x 1440?

No way to tell.
If your games are fast action shooters, a stronger GTX1080ti will be an upgrade, but not that big of one.
If your games tend to mmo, sims or strategy games, you are likely more core speed limited.
Try this test:
Run YOUR games, but lower your resolution and eye candy.
If your FPS increases, it indicates that your cpu is strong enough to drive a better graphics configuration.
If your FPS stays the same, you are likely more cpu limited.
Considering the high cost of ram, I doubt a ram speed upgrade will be worth it.
Before you buy new ram, be very careful about ryzen ram compatibility.
Not all DDR4 ram will work.
You want documented ram compatibility. If you should ever have a problem, you want supported ram.
Otherwise, you risk a finger pointing battle between the ram and motherboard support sites, claiming "not my problem".
One place to check is your motherboards web site.
Look for the ram QVL list. It lists all of the ram kits that have been tested with that particular motherboard.
Sometimes the QVL list is not updated after the motherboard is released.
For more current info, go to a ram vendor's web site and access their ram selection configurator.
Enter your motherboard, and you will get a list of compatible ram kits.

The Ryzen 5 1600 is a powerful CPU, and I highly doubt that it's going to bottleneck your GTX 1080 Ti at 1440p (That depends on your target framerate, and what game you're playing however). If you really want that performance now, I'd say get the 1080 Ti, but if you don't want any regrets, wait for the next-gen cards. However, they are likely going to be slightly more expensive due to GDDR6, and the fact that early adopters will need to pay more.
And for your 2.4GHz memory, faster RAM going to make a difference in CPU demanding games (Assassin's Creed Origins is a prime example), and for the CPU itself, because of how its architecture is built. But due to the RAM prices, it might not be worth it.
