I’m trying to play at 4K max out
Either I buy RTX 2080 and keep my current system or buy GTX 1080 with a 8700k or something budget for gaming 4K with the latest motherboard DDR 4 etc or what you guys suggest?

The way you are now....I think you are short on video more than anything....so I'd go with the video upgrade. Maybe not necessarily the RX2080.....but maybe...or maybe a 1080 Ti.

I think your CPU still has a way to go before it starts slowing you down in games....and you have plenty of memory.

If you have only an HDD...maybe get an SSD.

....but I'd go with a graphics upgrade and save the rest of my money for down the road.
