Note I'm a streamer on a single pc.

Current Rig
AMD FX- 8350 4.0ghz
MSI 970a-g46
G.Skill 4GB x2 1600
RoseWill 600w
nVidia GTX 770 2gb

Single Monitor Gaming 1080p with the gtx and the 7770.
2nd monitor for multitasking.

I recently bought a gtx 770 to replace my radeon 7770 for a fps bump and noticed my monitor isn't letting me go over 60fps with vsync enabled on games (if its not its choppy sometimes) and was wondering if I should revert back to the 7770 and use the $$ to get a i7 4770k and a MSI Z87 G45 Gaming Mobo. seeing how I can't reach higher then 60fps anyways maybe my computer would have increased performance with the 2 new components rather then a new gpu being bottle necked by a simple monitor at 60hz.
OR save my self the time and money and buy a Gaming 144hz Benq monitor and keep the gtx 770.


Please post your opinions on what you think or know would give most preformance.

Solution
The 8350 + 770 will be much better for gaming/streaming than an i7 + 7770. Why not just crank up the settings in the game and put the 770 to use? Pairing an overclocked i7 to a single 7770 is extremely unbalanced. You'll be going from Ultra to medium.

This is helpful info but I'm in a situation of choosing to keep the gtx 770 or get the cpu and mobo, I like if the opinions would stick to what I'm asking.

Thanks again for the info.

Sorry, I thought you were asking why you couldn't get over 60 fps with vsync turned on.
