I would suggest upgrading the gpu first, and from there maybe the cpu and motherboard when your budget allows for it, otherwise your pc is still pretty top notch. knowing your budget would be nice, but a good gpu to replace a 570 would be a gtx 770 (roughly $400, but a LOT faster than your 570) your processor won't bottleneck the gpu, but i would recommend overclocking it to at least 4.2, especially since you have an h60

your psu is good enough for any single gpu on the market, so don't worry about replacing that. Your ram is also more than good enough

Your psu is good for two 780s if you wanted, anyway your 570 is really fast, there is truly no reason to replace anything, but an upgrade to a 770 wouldnt be bad, and if you can a 780ti K|NGP|N theyre amazingly fast and their performance is great, even in games optimized for radeon, anyway OC your processor, other than that there is nothing at all that needs to be done your setup is REALLY good

780ti kingpin is over $800...i seriously doubt he would want to spend that much on a gpu. the 570 is indeed fast, but in some of the more modern titles it is falling short of being able to run them on ultra, whereas the 770 is the sweet spot for ultra gaming without getting into just ridiculous pricing. It is also the part that you will get the most benefit out of upgrading (from your 570 to something else). whereas upgrading your cpu would not give a huge benefit, and you might as well just overcock it instead
