CPU holding me back?

Do you have anything running at the same time as the game? Music, streaming etc? If no, then I would think the 7700k would be a very good choice.
The landscape may change price wise very soon with AMD hammering price points. I would wait till AMDs R5 chips get released and see if it forces Intel's pocket to reduce prices (IMO). I still think the 7700k is probably the way to go though for raw gaming performance overall "right now".

7700k will make a difference, a big one with some games. TBH The least I would pair the 1080 ti with is the 6700/7700k if solely for gaming.
Check the vid below out with the i7 kabylake v the i5 with a titan XP, the i7 trounces it in some games where more threads are required so your older 3570k will be holding you back a fair bit even when clocked. I would go the 7700k route or try and pick up a 3770k.

There already has been...
Digital Foundry disabled some cores on 1800x and ran 6 core 12 threads....basically a 1600x
In games it was around 4% difference
I would try and pick up a 3770k for the time being...The OP can keep his loop and see an increase in games on the cheap.
Oooh I somehow missed this, thanks for posting
7:34 on the video. This is one issue. How can anyone be sure future games will be optimised for ryzen with such low percentage market share. Most people understand some games currently will suffer, but there is no solid reassurance for future games apart from shipping out developer kits?
I'd be very interested to hear from people who develop games just how likely they are to optimise for ryzen on a big title and how market share impacts the time and money spent on this area.

With a big overclock, I am really doubting it is that worthwhile for you to upgrade. In certain titles it may help, but I reckon it will be an extensive upgrade for not that much gain.
(Note: I still perceive there to be little difference on Intel upgrades).
