Build a new PC right now or upgrade few parts&wait?

[ak_sonstiges]

Greetings, everybody.
For almost a week I'm struggling with this questions. Maybe some opinion 'from the side' could make my decision easier.

What my overall gaming goals for the next few years are:
100 fps@100hz@wqhd and 60fps@60hz@4k (the former for more pc'ish gaming like shooters, the latter for more console'ish gaming like witcher 3) and everything on ultra settings.

And I don't want to be caught in a waiting loop, where you wait for the next GPU, next gen CPU, next gen RAM etc. On the other hand, let's say I build now a system with a Ryzen processor, Ryzen 2 should be, according to rumours, released around february 2018 along with a new motherboard. New Volta GPU's should be released somewhere around spring 2018. My top goal monitor (asus rog pg35vq) should be released... well sometime in the future.

More to the subject. My current parts are:
ASUS P8Z77-V Z77 motherboard
i7-3770K@3.5GHz
nVidia GTX 680
16 GB RAM@1866Hz
ssd for windows, hdd for games
acer 27 inch fullhd monitor 60hz

My desired build as of now:
Ryzen 1700X overclocked@4GHz
Zotac Geforce 1080ti
32 GB RAM@3000Hz
PCIe SSD for Windows (256 GB)
M.2 SSD for my steam library (1000 GB)
35" AOC AGON AG352UCG 100Hz, G-sync
40'' DigitalExperience 60Hz TV (DEXP U40B9000H)

Money is not an issue, however I don't want to throw it away and would like to enjoy fluent gaming as soon as possible. So I thought - what if I upgrade just a few parts of my current PC, which would give me the most performance boost (since Titanfall 2 already recommends be the lowest settings with my 2 gig of VRAM).

Let's say I buy a used 980Ti, this PCIe ssd for my games and this AOC AGON monitor or maybe some Vega 56 and a cheap Korean UWQHD monitor with freesync? This would let me play all the titles at middle/high settings@wqhd with some smoother 60-80-100 fps and load them pretty fast while I can wait for Volta/Ryzen2/Asus PG35 to come out.

Are my thoughts reasonable or will I encounter some other caveats when upgrading my current system?

I’d say just OC the 3770k to 4.2 or 4.4 GHz. Then install a GTX 1080 or 1080 Ti. That should give you around the performance you want.

Except for possibly Ashes of Singularity. I don’t think you’ll see much difference at QHD with Ryzen. At 4K you likely won’t see any difference. As resolution increases CPU demand decreases due to the limitations of the GPU.

First of all, thank you for your answer. But wouldn't it be a waste if Voltas are to be released soon in 2018? Selling a used graphics card is rather tricky here in Russia and it's 1000$ for a 1080ti vs 300$ for a 980ti. The 980ti I can throw away when Volta comes out, but 1080ti would be heart- and walletbreaking.

Just did a quick search and Voltas turned up nothing? And chances are you probably won't see a huge difference when the next cards arrive anyway.

I stumbled upon this page and especially this part, which seems plausible:

I suspect that NVIDIA aims to equip its Volta-based gaming processors with GDDR6 memory, which is expected to be available in early 2018.

Therefore, I think that it's reasonable to expect NVIDIA to begin rolling out its Volta-architecture gaming parts in early 2018, with products across pricing and performance tiers rolling out over the course of the year.

This would make 2018 Q2 actually pretty feasible. And I think a Volta Titan or Volta 2080 should crack 80-100 fps on ultra for all titles@4k, which 1080Ti can't. This is why I thought of a cheaper graphics card for next half a year to bump my experience and then shoot me up into space with a Volta GPU.
