I built the system below in June of 2012:

I've been gaming on some ancient HP 1280x1024 monitor since then. I'm finally ready to move on to 1080p and could really use some upgrade advice. I'd like to upgrade just the gpu and monitor, if possible. I'd like to get a few more years out of this system before moving on completely.
I was thinking of getting a sub $150 monitor if you think that will suffice, and upgrading my gpu to a EVGA 960 2 gb SSC. Right now, I've been playing primarily CS GO. I'm going to be firing up Fallout 4 once I get the new hardware in. What do you guys think? I'm trying to get the best bang for buck. I was also concerned about the i3 2120 bottlenecking the 960, but it seems like I should be okay there?
What would you guys do? Thanks in advance!!!!
