I know at the rez I'll be playing at the ti card will perform ~25% better. But I'm coming from a 670, maybe the 1080 sc will be great?

I have a 1080 non-Ti and am running an Acer X34 and I'm thinking about the upgrade, FWIW. Now, I'm not getting shitty frametimes but I do like to crank the settings, so they could be better. If I were you I'd go for the Ti and get a non-OC mobo with an i5-7600 (but with an M.2 slot for NVMe). That's of course assuming you are butting up against a budget.
Also if you go this route you can skip the watercooled CPU (I also have a Kraken X62) and just get a Hyper 212 and save a TON of coin.
Unless you are doing content creation, you are going to be GPU bound in games and the CPU will make up maybe a 5% difference in frametimes.
