1080 is anyday better than 1070. The variants of the cards doesnt make much difference as they all perform around the same range for their respective models.
But if this is about saving money, then your decision should be based on the rest of your specs, and most importantly your monitor specs.

It's 1080p/144Hz. Both cards easily handle that. For the most part. The 1080 will have an easier time in most games, but with the truly demanding games, the 1080 is going to be a clear winner every time. The 1070FTW2 is at the top end of 1070 performance, the 1080SC is at the bottom end of 1080 performance, but there's still a considerable gap between the two, reason why the 1070ti was introduced.

The specs were not mentioned in the initial post, updated later on.
The major problem here is, your platform is pretty old and obsolete by now. The 8350 will hold back the 1070, leave alone the 1080... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EQOWVLxk0DOFXKfzCmz9lEZ-qpMb7mIvt8KUYek69A8/edit#gid=0
So before considering those cards, I would seriously look into platform change to current gen. Ryzen/Coffeelake.
Not to mention the next gen. NVidia cards are about to launch in a couple of weeks or so.

Fx Cpus are @50% slower IPC than new Ryzen, or @upto 60% slower than new Intel. Per clock. If you figure an i5-8400 at 4.0GHz, to get similar IPC the FX would need to be closer to @6.4GHz just to keep up, and thats not including any instruction sets, Lcache improvements, motherboard improvements, storage improvements etc that'll facilitate added ability. An 8400/1070 is a pretty well balanced setup, capable of maximizing ability at 144Hz. The FX cpus will be considerably higher cpu usage as core bandwidth is swamped and fps will be in the toilet.
