CPU/GPU Enough for a high$ monitor

[amarshdss]

Im looking at dropping some serious money on a monitor and I'm worried my rig may not be enough to justify such a monitor.
Monitor: ASUS ROG SWIFT PG278QR
CPU: Ryzen 1600x @ 4.0mhz
Mem: Ripjaws@3200 14-14-14-35
GPU: Strix 1070ti a8g @ 2.0mhz
Gpu mem: 9000

Cpu cannot be returned...

1070ti can overclock to 1080, is viable for 100+ FPS @ 1440p. The monitor is a good buy.

Right, this I did see. The cpu has me concerned its going to hold back the gpu from hitting frames worthy of buying a 165Hz monitor.

Vid didn't show for some reason on the 1600x. Ill check it out, thanks.

Ok so I guess that takes me to a different question.. What does the lower fps do to a monitor that is capable of more. Does g-sync help this?

100 is much better than 60. Gsync will only kick in if fps is less than monitor limit. Gsync gets rid of stuttering without adding input lag.
