Hi all,

I've recently purchased a Strix 1080TI via Gibbo's very generous offer a couple of weeks ago.
I would like to upgrade the rest of my system and am struggling to work out what to do.
Primary use is fps gaming and VR use (Vive) with some development and video editing thrown in to the mix.

My current system is;

Strix 1080TI
IvyBridge 1155 [email protected]
2x8Gb DDR3 Corsair Vengeance (CMZ16GX3M2A1866C10R)
Gigabyte GZ-Z77X-UP4-TH Intel Z77 Motherboard
Very old air-cooled Lian Li PC-7 Plus case (with be-quiet fans throughout)
Corsair 650W Enthusiast Series 650T PSU (CP-9020038-UK)
Dell U3818DW 38 inch curved monitor 3840x1600@75Hz
1x256Gb Samsung SSD840Pro
1x256Gb Samsung SSD850Pro

The cpu, memory, motherboard and SSD840 are 5 years old and the case is 13 years old!
I ran 3d mark's firestrike v1.1 demo and got 13816. Graphics score of 28763 (132.03 fps, 118.79 fps), physics score of 5670 (18.00 fps), giving a combined score of 5038.

Cost wise I'm fortunate in that I'm not that limited at present, just need the right upgrade that will last me at least a couple of years ideally.

What do you learned people recommend?

Thanks,
Sanj
