I just want to know if what you guys will buy first, but imo I'll go with the monitor, but still I want to hear it from you.

Here's my current setup:

Phenom II X4 955BE @3.6ghz
Emaxx 880G FXN
2X 2gb DDR3 1333 ram
1TB and 320gb WD HDD
POV GTX 660ti 2gb
FSP Raider 650w
Samsung S20A300B *900p (Being repaired)

I'm thinking of getting a new IPS 1080p monitor or upgrade my cpu and mb to these:

Monitor : LG 24EN43VS

or

MB: Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H and a core i5 4570

Personally I wanna grab the monitor and sell my old Samsung once its repaired before getting the new cpu and mb, I'm currently using a 1080p Coby 24" TV which I borrowed from my dad.

I dont wanna go back to 900p after I experienced gaming in 1080p.

So what would you get first if youre in my situation and why?

1080p will be a little hard to run on high-ultra settings with this build. I would recommend getting the CPU Motherboard Combo first, or getting an other gtx 660 ti and putting it in SLI

yep i know, I just dont think I will appreciate maxed out settings on a 900p monitor anymore..

EDIT: for the record, I can still play AC4 @ very high settings on a 1080p with FXAA, SSAO, high reflections, everything is on except vsync, shadows in the highest also. I can get 40 to 60 fps.

GTX660Ti is a capable card HD7950 GTX760 level and with slight overclock on the X4 BE as it is, it will do fine on 1080P until upgrade.
