I'd eventually like to increase RAM and upgrade to a 1080. I'm sure a cheap secondhand card will appear soon. 

Why on earth would you need to upgrade your RAM unless you do a lot of serious Photo Editing,  Video editing, and/or 3D modeling(but for 3D modeling GPU would be higher priority than RAM)?

Nothing today or in the near future requires more than 16GB and we have come to the point now where memory speed is basically insignificant to general pc performance, unlike the days of DDR1 and DDR2 when higher speed RAM actually had a noticible impact.

Maybe he runs more than one demanding thing at a time, Ram drive perhaps? Virtualization? Just food for thought.
