Can my build support the upcoming GTX 1080?

[Doutor]

So I've had this computer for quite some time now and I was looking to upgrade to the new GTX 1080 when it releases, but I don't really know if my build is compatible and can support it
Here are the specs:

CPU:AMD FX(tm)-6350 Six-Core Processor 3.90 GHz
Motherboard:ASRock Fatal1ty Killer 990fx
Current GPU:GTX 970
PSU:900W
RAM:16gb

Thank you for your time, and please ask me any information about my build!

any gpu u will throw at it will hold a 1080 back, actually its not even worth getting it with that motherboard and socket.

but yes it would work

Sure it will work but your cpu wont be using the 100% of the 1080.So you could run gpu dependant games at high settings but on cpu threaded games you will experience low fps or stuttering.

Also,you have a very good mobo,overclock your cpu to a 4,5 ghz stage,its free power and more fps.

Do you think I should buy a new cpu? I've been thinking about it for quite some time but I really don't know what to get... Any ideas on what cpu I should buy?

It depends from your budget,but to be consired upgrade you have to purchase atleast a haswell-skylake core i5,which are great for gaming and strong for any single gpu.
