I'd get a Z87 motherboard, a second GTX 770, and a better CPU cooler to start.

There take is not much, I would wait until Pascal or AMDs Artic Islands and then buy a new GPU.

Skimmed over the H87 part, yeah that and like a BeQuiet! SHADOW ROCK, though if the 770 is 2GB, SLI is worthless in my opinion, I would save what's left and wait for Arctic Islands or Pascal

SLI GTX 770's should perform better than a GTX 980.

The Scythe Mugen 4 is one of the best lower end air coolers out there.

IIRC it almost beats a be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 3.

^ This. I think the 770 is still a pretty good card for 1080p gaming and upgrading now isn't worth it. Pascal seems to offer a lot more.
