    Should I sell my MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X and get a used GTX 1080Ti

    In sum, no. Wait for RTX benchmarks (particularly the RTX 2070) and AMD's 7nm GPUs. For Gaming, SLI is most often not recommended.

    Need to make a choice between gtx 1070 and 1070 max Q.

    If the choice was mine, I'd pick up the 8th Gen. The overall size (15" v 17") and power efficiency should also be considered. The GTX 1070 Max-Q isn't too much slower. GTX 1080 Max-Q, on the other hand, is significantly slower than the regular GTX 1080.

    Headphones/Headset for use in noisy enviroment

    Definitely buy closed-back headphones. V-Moda Crossfade M-100 is extremely popular at £200. Although expensive, the Bose QuietComfort series is an option. Also, Tom's recommended Plantronics BackBeat PRO 2 and Sennheiser HD 4.50 as top wireless, noise-cancellation headphones.

    Are component prices really dropping? Should I return components I purchased recently?

    Depends. NVIDIA is selling Founders Edition GPUs at MSRP (but 1080 TI is out of stock). List components here and I bet people can give you a better idea.
