I have 200.00 to upgrade my gaming system.

I got a i7 860 quad @8 threads(older), 16gb ddr3, EVGA gtx 960 2gb vram (brand new with cool backplate), 850 samsung evo. my MOBO only supports 3gbs sata, pciE2.0 and not a good overclocker. do I A) resell my gpu for around 180-200 and upgrade to gtx 970 plus 100.0ish and get a better GPU r9 390....gtx 970, or B) keep the gtx 960 and upgrade MOBO to z97 with pcie 3.0 sata 6gb and basically a standard cheapo CPU g3258 until i can put a better 4690k in? Will the better GPU give me better results @ pcie2.0 or.....z97 with sata 6gb, pcie3.0(for GPU) and newer CPU architecture?

 

Thanks for any help
