I have a system with. a gtx 570 and a Pentium g4400 should I upgrade to an i5 7600k (or i7 7700k if I find a good price on the used market ) or a gtx 780ti (or 970)

Really, you need to do both.
If you're into playing modern games, then you'll get the best performance increase from upgrading the CPU first. There is no point in getting a better GPU when you're probably already getting lag and stutter caused by your CPU, this would only get worse with a better GPU.
