I do not know if your i5-4460 will bottleneck a GTX 1080. But would you mind stating the rest of your specs? For example: your power supply's manufacturer and model number, motherboard model #, and storage? Also, what is your full budget for this upgrade? I only ask because perhaps upgrading to a GTX 1070 and also the CPU, might be a more well rounded upgrade.

No need to worry about the budget, I can save money.
 
We still need to know your precise power supply. Would you mind opening your computer case, and taking photos of your power supply, which should show the brand and model #? While you're at it, it would also be helpful if you took a few additional photos of the inside of your entire build. Then upload the photos to imgur and post the link here.

Question: What exactly are you trying to accomplish with this upgrade? For example: Are you trying to play the new Doom at 1080p at 144 FPS? What exactly is your goal? Why the upgrade? Sounds like a great idea and I applaud it, but I just want to make sure you'll achieve your goal. Also, I strongly suggest that you create a parts list or build list on PCpartpicker.com, so that you have an precise idea of what's in your current computer, and also have a plan on what you're upgrading to.

It would be helpful to have a budget, but if you don't have one... I suppose you can answer the questions I stated above and then I and the others can respond with upgrade advice, along with what it will cost financially to achieve it. Please don't forget to state your monitor resolution (or model #) and the power supply question is even more important.

Storage: 390.6 GB and 540.9 GB: 1 TB hard drive formats to 931 GB, which is the approximate total of your two drives. Based on this fact and their odd capacities, I'm sure that you have a 1 TB HDD that has two logical partitions.
 



I think it may be a better idea to just save enough and build a new gaming PC, my goal is to be able to play games like DOOM, Sherlock Holmes The Devil's Daughter, and all kinds of high quality games in the highest quality and minimum 60 fps. I have to mention that since I live in Israel and using ILS things are quite more expensive than they are in the US.
So can you recommend what parts should I buy? or should I make a new post?
