Have to make a choice. What would you do?

Am currently running 6700K @4.5, on a Asus Maximus VIII Ranger MB with a 1070ti EVGA card on a Samsung 27" 1920x1280 monitor.

If I have to choose between upgrading the CPU and MB or upgrading the GPU and monitor, what would you do?

You already have a pretty good video system, so go for a new MB and CPU. Should have some great sales coming up this time of year.

Tough decision.  Do you want more eye candy or FPS?

My choice would be to go flying.. why upgrade if you have a nice system?

At 1080p you don't even need to be thinking about a GPU upgrade.  If you're itching for an upgrade, get a new monitor.  Then you'll feel the need for that new GPU 😉
