Your CPU is a huge bottleneck for GTX1080 at 1080p. The most you should buy is a GTX1070. Future proofing with a 1080 is a waste of time and money. You picked the worst time to buy a 1080 since NV is rumored to be launching 1080Ti around March 10th (PAX East). Sell the RX480 and get the cheapest open-air cooled on-blower GTX1070. Later on, sell your processor and buy a used 6700K/7700K and then upgrade to Volta in 2018-2019.

His CPU is a huge bottleneck? Even an ancient i5-2500K (not overclocked) is more than enough in most (not all) games:

 

Yeah, I have a 4th gen Core I5 (4670k)and it does just well.

I have a SLI of two GTX 980 and can do 5760 x 1080p in medium to high @45 fps... EDIT: @45 fps in the Witcher 3.
