unless your swing speed is very, very fast... you do not want irons with stiff steel shafts. I've got stiff shafts on mine, but was fitted for them and the normal golfer's swing speed is way too low to use them.

You do need to upgrade the driver, like GPK says.

For the driver, go to a good golf shop and you can test all of the good ones and see which one fits your swing the best. Get fitted for it if you can. Personally, I like the Callaway drivers and they will add distance for you(owned a Taylor made midsize, Biggest Big Bertha in the past and now have an FT-3).

You don't need the hybrid club unless you have a distance gap between your longest iron and your shortest wood. If so, toss the longest iron and get a hybrid. Personally, I've got a Callaway 3H, but the Adams ones are perfectly good clubs too.

steel's good, but the stiff ones may be too much (would be for most)... but GPK says should work for him.
