If you have an Intel quad-core released in 2012 or even 2011, it's probably still adequate due to the relative stagnation in CPU improvements since then .

I don't have a 4K monitor so I would have to upgrade to that to take full advantage of the video card.
Even for the GTX 1080, 4K is still a bridge too far for recently released games (though I've found it great for 2013 era games). But there's a wide variety of affordable 2560 x 1440 monitors now, a resolution that would work well with non-flagship video cards and also offer a good improvement in regular computer use.
