1. Upgrade my CPU to the i7 3770k.

2.Upgrade my Monitor to the Asus VG278HE.

I was thinking on the monitor then the cpu then the PSU.

Sounds like you already have a solid plan. Though to be honest, unless you get an absolutely killer deal (under $150) for the CPU I wouldn't bother buying one.

If you just got that GTX 970 I hope the first thing you do is get some good games to try out with it.

His main focus should be a general upgrade and an SSD is.

Well then I say get a nice IPS monitor and call it done until you can save up for better stuff. Nothing is wrong with your PC and your performance should be pretty good too.

Ask the peripherals section. I have no clue. I doubt it though.

Well, I know what I'll be needing for an upgrade. 

 

Still using an old Dell keyboard from 2004. Don't think mechanical keyboards are even worth the price yet .

Yeahhhh but the 4790k is like $249 if you look around.

It's not really worth it for $200.

Eh, laziness will cost you in the long run.

[NannerBeans]

Both those cpu and psu are not really worth upgrading imo. I got my 4770k for $230 btw. Although it was used.
