Suggestions on New Graphics card, Whatchu thinking?

Whats good pube? pubic hair
Lets talk Graphics cards ^^
I'm going to be getting a large chunk of change back soon, I lent it out to a good friend of mine... Thinking about spoiling myself with a new GPU 
I've been using the GTX 770, I've had it for about 2 1/2 years now, and its going strong. I cant really complain, but I like to game and I rarely go out and buy crap just for me-that's not essential so what the hell I kinda wanna invest in a new card
Current Rig 8:::::::::::D - - - <(x o)> Case
PSU
Graphics Card
CPU
Rammstein 
Cooling System Mobo
The GPU listed isnt the exact card I got, but its close. Iv got the GTX 770 4GB instead of the 2gb thats listed, but whatever that's irrelevent.
So like, I don't know if I want to go ham and get the gtx 1080, it's almost 1000$- Go Or the GTX 1060 which seems to be reasonably priced 324.99 Go
Im not entirely educated in what makes one GPU better then the other, I think Cuda Cores and total memory has something to do with it 
When I look at these specs side by side:
GTX 770: Coreclock 1111MHz/ Boost 1163 MHz core and base same thing? CUDA Cores 1536 GTX 1060: Base 1506/boost 1708MHz CUDA Cores I duno? Sources said less then my current card, dont know if correct. GTX 1080: Base 1607/boost 1835 CUDA Cores ??
I duno, I found conflicting info on the amount of Cuda Cores, again I duno if it even matters but whatever.
Does anyone actually know enough about Gpu's that they could explain to me what makes a given card superior other than price.
When comparing The GTX 1060 to the 1080// It is far cheaper.The 1080 is double the price, but is it justified? How much more performance does the 1080 (Which is double in price) get compared to the 1060.
The 1060 costs less then my 770, although they don't manufacture mine anymore which is understandable seeing how its at least 3 years older.. does the 1060 out perform my 770? I would expect it too.
Almost forgot, heres the links to each card I'm looking at: 1060 1080
I pretty much want a card, that my rig can handle and that outperforms my current card. Im open to other cards as well, I know I have to account for space, PowerSupply, ect.
I kinda would like to spend somewhere around the 600$ or less area but I'm getting enough back that the cap could be 1000$
I also have two HDD's and one SSD, something I guess to take into account regarding Powersupply, although I think I'll be ok anyways.

Honestly, any graphics card that sells for $600 new is gunna be dope as fuck.
The higher the price, typically the better the performance.

Mescaline then marijuana aka Mescajuana is what u need (if we are talking about THIS real-time simulation called life).

I think I'm going to go with NVIDIAS 3rd-I-FX with a googleplex Ghz video-processor. I hear it works directly off shared pineal-gland DDR RAM.

1080 should be like 699/700 something don't pay almost 1K. What you need depends on how you're gonna use it. 4K? Dual monitors? SLI?

1080 if you can afford it 1070 if you want roughly the same performance for a lot less

Yeah im looking right now and kinda leaning towards the 1070, I can pick it up from newegg.ca for about $570
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487248
I've got dual monitors but when I game I only use it on one. I would like to run BF1 on ultra if I could, pretty much want a card that could do that.

OK, here's my two picks.
1070 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487248&ignorebbr=1&_ga=1.54876139.131428430.1468618710
1080 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487244&cm_re=evga_gtx_1080-_-14-487-244-_-Product
Shroomism I know you already answered my question, I've compared both specs. I just need some advice because if I'm understanding correctly what makes which card better then your correct when you say the 1080 slightly outperforms the 1070, big difference here is the $$$.
Both cards are GDDR5... 1080 is GDDR5X which I assume is alright.
Memory bandwidth 320 GB/s versus 256.3 GB/s ---- 1080 wins CUDA Cores 1920 VS 2560 ----- 1080 wins Base clock/Boost clock 1594 MHz/1784 MHz 1708 MHz/1847MHz 1080 wins
So I mean now I'm looking at price. $569.99 vs $839.00
I know either card works with my MOBO,PSU, fits inside my case for sure. I assume my CPU can handle it, but I will double check after.
I have the extra money, buddy owes me almost 4k, and Im getting back 1k so I can pick and choose here.
I just wanna know if its worth getting the 1080, money wise that is. I assume for the extra $250 or so it is, but again I'm not entirly sure here.

I was seeing 1070's about 400$ last I looked... you might wanna shop a little harder
