Specs:

CPU: Intel i7-6700k
GPU: GTX 1070
Ram: G.Skill 16GB DDR4-3200
Mobo: ASROCK Fatal1ty Z170
Cooler: CoolerMaster EVO Hyper 212
PSU: EVGA 750W Bronze


So this was a prebuilt I got a few years ago, it was too good of a deal to pass up from MicroCenter. Im looking to upgrade it.

Budget = $900, its technically for work for 'uniform allowance' but I dont need anything so Im spending it on myself
Zip = 60048

I was thinking Case and cooler for sure since the one I have sucks, was thinking NZXT for those. I just like their cases and coolers and I have NZXT lighting in the current one, so I wanna keep that the same.

As far as the rest....? GPU probably? Dunno if I should just keep the CPU for now? Mobo?

Let me know guys. I know black friday/cyber monday stuff is happening soon, dont know if I should hold off or order now.

Any input helps, ty.

How much of an improvement is the 2070 vs the 1070? Is it really worth it? How much more would I have to spend for 2080, and is that worth it?
