Ok, so I've been thinking about upgrading but not sure if I should upgrade the video card or MB and CPU. My rig is in my sig. I'm planning on an MSI gtx 770 or an i7 4790k/msi z97 gaming 5. My question is should I upgrade or am I good for now? I figure that since I don't really have any problems running any games, I'm fine. But I'd like your opinions. Thanks.
 
I'd say hold off, especially if you aren't having any problems with your current setup. I had/have the same idea, maybe pickup up a couple 1440p monitors and a new graphics card, but decided to wait. Supposedly there's a new round of hardware being released in the coming months, so might as well get the latest and greatest when you do upgrade.
 
What's your usage, gaming? If so, what resolution?
Upgrade budget?
 
With that, I would definitely be looking at a 970.
Your current CPU/mobo/RAM are fine.
