this is my current set up.
I am thinking of foregoing the gpu until r9 390 or better cards come to 220$ range.

This is what I am currently thinking of getting.

I have no coolers, or thermal compounds... Should I get these?

I am trying to upgrade the psu because if I upgrade the gpu then I think I might need to.

I agree with everything you stated... Although the psu is a high quality, and could run the 390 fine. If you had the budget you could get a 1440p monitor if you wanted. The stock cooler is fine unless you a going to overclock , which you cant anyways
