I have about $1500 ( give or take) to spend on upgrades. Any suggestions? After thinking for awhile I thought of perhaps these upgrades?

Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Video Card
Case: Corsair 900D ATX Full Tower Case
Monitor: Asus VG248QE 144Hz 24.0" Monitor (Purchased For $0.00)

that brings it pretty close to $1500 and later on I could add a custom loop ( when I have more money, seeing how expensive they are)

Does anyone have any suggestions on something else to upgrade? or to change instead of upgrading what I have up there^^

Side note: I've had 4k monitors before, I hated them because of the 60hz panels and the crap response times. I play a lot of fast paced games and have grown rather fond of the 144hz/1ms Thats why I havent changed them yet. Thanks!
 
Not sure about how you have been using for 2 years a CPU which is not 1 year old yet.
Anyway, the 980ti is a really nice card and a decent upgrade if you want to get the most out of your 3 144Hz monitors.
If you feel like you might add a 2nd card at a later date I would also get the bigger case and a better PSU.
