Hi I currently have an core i5 3300 cpu and an old led 20.5 inch 1080p monitor. My cpu doesnt bottleneck any games with my gtx 980 except for black ops 3. I can only afford to either upgrade to i7 6700 with new mobo and going ddr4 or a new 25 inch 1440p monitor. Which one should i upgrade first?

Go for monitor now since Kabylake is just around the corner. If you didn't already know, you have AM4's coming out this coming year so if the results aren't as advertised, you can then set your sights on an Intel upgrade path. On another note, the prices for DDR4 should drop a little and the range of SSD's will be a little favorable in terms of pricing as well.

Might I ask of your full system's specs inclusive of your OS?
