Upgrade advice

Hello there!
So well, I' stuck here with my getting-old-with-no-upgrades rig:

Phenom II X4 955BE
Gigabyte 970A-DS3
Gigabyte GTX 460 1GB
16 gigs of DDR3 1600MHz/CL9 RAM
Corsair CX600M

On the days (around 2 weeks or so) I'm gonna upgrade it finally, but I've got a little problem.
There are 2 ways - get and MSI Z87-GD65 + 4670k/4770k (depends on the cash on the big day) and a gpu in the next year (January/February, most likely).
Or get the MSI GTX 770 TwinFrozr 2GB/OC, and then cpu/mobo in January/February.
And the point is, which way would you advise me to go? I mean like, will I feel bigger kick if I get that beast gpu now, or upgrading mobo/cpu will kick me even further? Cuz I'm just not exactly sure what should I do.

PS.
Rig exists for gaming, playin' @1080p.

Thanks in advance for your effort!
 
I think you'll notice the biggest performance in a graphics card. If the CPU works, I think you should leave it until Jan.
