You could save money and upgrade the CPU to a i7 4790k and the GPU to the 1080ti. Going to the 7700k wont give you much performance difference and going to the 4790k will give you the extra 4 threads. Intel has been treading water for a long time now.

If you want more threads, I'd suggest moving to a Ryzen 1700X.

Hello Aswin
power supply is fine, good unit. Monitor should be fine too, that resolution will not push the 1080ti very hard. I agree with Martell1977 that an upgrade of the CPU would be wiser than a new platform. performance between the two (i7 4790k and 7700k) cannot justify the price IMHO.

I would upgrade the CPU and cooler if needed to overclock in the system you have.
I would add an SSD if you have not already done so, the motherboard you have has an m.2 slot.
then maybe look at a VR headset or a larger higher resolution monitor. this upgrade should last you for a few years.
