You will need to get a PSU that is reliably built and has at least 650W at the system's disposal.

That psu has to go. Would recommend seasonic focus plus gold, evga g2/3, corsair rmx/txm at 650w or 750w.

It will work and the higher the resolution and refresh the better. It will be wasted on 1080p/60. However, your framerate will be limited to a degree by your locked cpu.

Can do 1440p/144hz or 4k/60hz (with some settings turned down.

my screen is a samsung s23c650 will a 1080ti be wasted if i use that monitor? ty!

I think it would be unless you plan to upgrade the monitor relatively soon. Probably best balance is 1440p/144hz/gsync.

Oke, i am trying to sell my PS3 and WII, so i hope ill have money to buy all the things, so, i want to buy a new display (2560X1440, 144HZ) (ill try and buy a 1080TI, and a powersupply,) are all of my other components good?

Yes, all the other components are good. You should get a few more years out of that setup with the PSU, graphics card and monitor upgrade.
