Haven't followed hardware in a long time. I only play League of Legends with it now and it does really well there but am thinking about getting back into heavier PC use, more/beefier gaming etc. Is it worth it to upgrade the monitor to at least a 24" / higher res, and of course the video card at this point or wait much longer for a complete overhaul?
 
video card, definitely. other than that and your monitor, the system isn't bad at all.

im running a 7970 in my sig rig and i dont feel the need to upgrade my mobo/cpu quite yet...

agree. get a current midrange card and a 1080p monitor and youll be good for a while still. i dont plan on upgrading my 860 until at least the next generation, possibly the one after that.

p.s. wow those Korean 27" 1440p's look interesting, that plus a good video card...? Hmmm..
 
Well that PSU should be able to handle most single-GPU setups. A tad old but still serviceable.
