Hello I am looking for some advice on upgrading my current system, with black friday and cyber Monday coming up soon, I'm looking to take advantage of the good deals that will be around. I am interested in upgrading parts of my system to get better gaming performance and fps. I think my CPU might be bottle necking my GPU. What do you guys recommend I upgrade first? Is it worth upgrading from the i5 to a i7? Or should I just stick with the cpu and try overclocking it? I was only thinking if I upgrade my CPU now I could sell it for a reasonable price on eBay as it still works great.

My current specs
CPU: Intel i5-3570 CPU @ 3.40GHz (not overclocked)
CPU COOLER: Hyper Evo 212
RAM: 8GB kingston DDR3 Ram
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (not overclocked)
Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Extreme4-M
Storage: Hard Disk 1: 60gb SSD, Hard Disk 2: 120gb SSD, Hard Disk 3: 1 TB HDD, Hard Disk 4: 1 TB HDD
PSU: Corsair CX 600W

I appreciate any input/ recommendations, thanks!

I don't think you should upgrade anything personally. I'd save the money. You have no bottleneck. You could put some money into a higher quality power supply and something like an expensive gorgeous case.
