From R9 390 to GTX 1080... should I?

So, I build my pc around 1 and a half years ago. It was quite good back then but not THAT good anymore.
I have been thinking about upgrading my graphics card but I am not sure is it really necessary.

I mainly play PLAYERUNKNOWN'S Battlegrounds nowadays and since it's still in Early Access, I won't probably see much of a difference if I upgrade from the R9 390 to the GTX 1080.

Here's my build:
-Asus Z170 Pro Gaming
-Intel I5 6600k
- 16GB RAM - Kingston Hyperx
-AMD R9 390

And my monitor is a BenQ XL2411 - 144HZ

Would it be better to upgrade my monitor to a Ultrawide one instead of upgrading my GPU?
Or should I upgrade anything at all?

The r9 390 is still a beast cars and will run any game it would be a stretch for your i5 to push a 1080ti as well

If the only game your having poor performance is PUBG then I would hold off as I would think some game/driver updates would eventually fix the issue. Try overclocking your CPU if you haven't done that already and see if it helps.

Thanks for the answers!
Even PUBG has been running fine. I usually get 70 fps and the settings are on medium. But I don't think it's a hardware problem. Poor optimization I would say. A friend has a GTX 1070 and I7 and even he gets around 70 or 80 fps.

The build I have right now is "ok" I think. I guess it's not worth upgrading anything yet.
