Hi,
So recently I've been noticing some frame drops in many games. Admittedly these are rarely too far below 60fps, however, I've been considering upgrading to a 144hz monitor so would like to boost my frames even if I'm not in particularly dire need of an upgrade. Here are my current specs:

Motherboard: ASUS Z97-P
PSU: Corsair CX750
CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980
RAM: 32GB DDR3 HyperX Savage
Storage: 2x 3TB HDD, 2x 240GB SSD

Thanks for the advice :)!
 
Yeah I have noticed a rise in prices atm, I'm assuming that due to the cryptocurrency resurgence. If I do upgrade the GPU I'd be looking for more longevity before I need to upgrade it again, would I be better of getting a 1070 now, or waiting for prices to drop and go for a 1080 or a 1080ti?
