1070 would be a good choice. After that, once you have the money, maybe you wanna get a new 1151 mobo along with a 7th gen i5 CPU. Although the 4770 should last you quite a while...

So I have been using a PC with the following specs for almost 3 years now, only difference is upgraded PSU:

Intel i7-4770 CPU 3.4 GHz

MSI Z87-G45 Motherboard

16GB RAM (2x8) DDR3

MSI GTX 760 OC to 1300MHz

2TB Seagate Barracuda HDD

EVGA Supernova 750 G2

 

It runs beautifully at 1080p gaming for all the newest games so far and hasn't failed me. I can even run GTA V on 3 monitors (5760x1080) with acceptable FPS. I have been thinking about upgrading to a 1070 but I'm not sure if its time to upgrade yet. Also, any other parts you guys reccomend me upgrading, possibly in chronological order?

I'd definitely get an SSD and run everything off there. You'll notice a huge difference. Even the 1060 6GB would be a huuuge upgrade for you. The 1070 is a good choice if you can afford it.

Your CPU and ddr3 ram will still be fine for gaming for a couple more years
