So I'm going to upgrade my Gaming PC this summer in August when I get the money. I will have around $800 to spend towards a new GPU / Monitor / Headset.

This is what I am thinking about buying later:

GPU ($300-400) - 7950 Boost OR Next Gen 8870 (MAYBE 770 GTX)

Monitor ($150-250) - Not actually sure. Need a good 1080p Monitor suggestion.

Headset ($100-150) - Siberia v2 OR Logitech G35. Both are amazing.

Help me decide what I should spend my money on to get the best deal. I hope that these parts will last me at least 3 years.

BTW I have a 6850, 1440x900 Dell Monitor, and $30 Headset (No sound 1 side)

Thanks for the advice. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Can anyone recommend me a good 1080p Gaming Monitor for around $200?
Which GPU should I buy later in August - 770GTX or maybe price drop 7950/7970?
I would like to record videos on Youtube with the Headset, so it's necessary to have a sound card?

So I am still unsure on my GPU choice, I will see in the next two months which card is good for around $350. Maybe 760TI or 8870 will be priced good for my range. As for the Monitor, the one I chose Asus VS247H-P 24" looks really good, can anyone confirm that it is reliable and a solid choice? The headset is also a little difficult to chose from, both the Siberia V2 and Logitech G35 are good. I have used Logitech products before and they were good, so I am leaning more towards the G35... Although the Siberia looks very very sexy. So many decisions...

Last question: Is the GTX 770 compatible with my MOBO? I have the Z68x-ud3h-b3 and I'm not sure if the GTX 770 will work with that.
