Ok I have 450.00 to spend on upgrades for my system what do you think I should spend it on?

Here's my system now:
1. Asus B350-F motherboard
2. Ryzen 5 1600 cpu
3. EVGA GTX 1070 SC GPU
4 4x4g DDR4 16GB Ram
5. Coolermaster Liquid CPU Cooler
6. Samsung 500GB SSD
7. Samsung QLED 27' 144hz Freesync monitor
8. Astro A50 Gen 3 headset (May take back, not sure about these yet)
9. Audioengine A2+ speakers.

Looking for a performance increase in gaming at 2560 x 1440 the native resolution for my monitor.

Thanks in advance.

Since you didn't list your current system, there is no way to make a recommendation.

i am guessing you meant r5 1600 but a r5 1600x will work just fine with a 1070ti and 1080

I'd overclock your CPU/RAM if you haven't already, doing so should get you around the 4ghz mark and give you a considerable bump in performance over stock. As for what to spend your money on there's not much I could see to improve the build, maybe add in a 1TB+ HDD for storage.

What you should do is continue save your money for a graphics card 1440p/4k gsync monitor upgrade in the future. Right now your graphcis card doesn't support your existing freesync monitor. Freesync is proprietary to AMD graphics cards. For the post part, your system doesn't need upgrading.

If you only have 450 to spend, you cannot really upgrade without a bottleneck, 1070 ti goes for around 400-500 and you still need a cpu upgrade which is another 200+ dollars. You could just get a 1070ti but the cpu will bottleneck it a little bit more than the 1070, which means it will be around the same performance as before, unless you sell your old parts I don't thing you will be getting any performance improving upgrades anytime soon other than faster or more ram. Sorry

option 1: keep your money, wait for the new gpu end of this year.
option 2: sell the 1070 for $250, and buy a 1080/1080ti is you are lucky
option 3: sell asus b350-f, ryzen 5 1600 for $200, get a 8700k and an asrock z370 ex4 mobo, oc it to 4.7-5.0 ghz.
