Built my computer a long time ago and made a few upgrades here and there. Trying to figure out what's next.

CPU: 3570K
Mobo: Asus p8z77-v
GPU: r9 280x toxic
RAM: ddr3 16gb at 2400mhz
Psu: cx750 750w cx corsair 80 plus bronze

Not concerned about hdd's or ssd's. Have more space on both types than I know what to do with ram. Is it time for me to finally get a new cpu/mobo?
I play destiny 2, d3, heroes of the storm, shadow of war, and other titles that have come out.

Got like 400ish to spend. Was going to get a 1060/1070 if gpu should be upgraded and I have no idea what to get for cpu/mono if that's what should be prioritized.

What CPU cooler do you have?
I would probably do a 1060 6gb and an 240/280mm AIO watercooler so I could push the 3570k overclock as high as possible

If you have a decent one, get a 1070 I suppose. Not sure if cpu would bottleneck a 1070. Anyone know this?

I've never OC'd before; I'm not against it, but is it difficult to do? I have a coolermaster 212 atm (i think that's the one? whatever the most recommended fan cpu cooler is/was by coolermaster a couple years ago). Never could do watercooling because I was moving a lot, but I could do that now.

Any other recs? Appreciate the help. So far looking into a 1060+watercooling to OC :)
