I plan on upgrading my GPU again this year also.
But then i was thinking about upgrading my MB, since this one has my CPU locked so i cant overclock it.
Do you guys think id be better off buying a new MB this year?, so i can overclock my 2500K cpu and stick with my 280x for now and buy a new GPU next year, or would i be better off upgrading my gpu this year and leaving the mb for another year??.

I doubt that your CPU is the bottleneck, just upgrade your GPU.

That, and the 2500K is a socket 1155 chip. I don't know how easy or hard will be finding a compatible motherboard that also allows overclocking.
