Upgrade suggestion for $650

[illusionx]

I currently have a:

CPU: Core i5 4460 3.2GHz
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 Dual (2x4GB)
MOBO: ASRock H97 PRO4
PSU: Sirtec High Power Element BRONZE 500W
Video: Club 3D Radeon R9 270X '14 Series 2GB DDR5 256-bit
Storage: Kingston SSD HyperX FURY 240GB SATA-III

and have around $650 to blow on an upgrade. I have a 1080p 70hz freesync Monitor.
What you guys think'd be best to blow that on? I was thinking to get a 1080 GTX which is around that price in my country.

Thanks.

So you're saying drop everything and keep just the SSD and the PSU. Could you please give more details as to why you suggest this over my variant? (1080GTX). Thanks mate.

Well I figured since you were asking, you'd want all of it upgraded. But it's not like it's a terrible setup, if you want a 1080 go ahead. Or you could get a 1070 and a 144Hz monitor

No not necessarily but that is an option too. All I'm thinking is what is the best bang for my buck in terms of overall pc snappiness, upgrade path and playing games with gfx experience as good as it reasonably could be for couple more years now for the $650.
