For what it is, it's a fairly balanced build.

We can't really help you decide what to upgrade if you don't tell us what your overall plans for this machine are. Do you want to go for "just better framerate" or "I want to run games at ultra 1080p 60fps"? There's a lot of options because everyone's use case is different. What's yours?

Getting any slow downs on games you play or programs you use? Or do you just have money to burn? :D

 

The thing is your current rig can still play select triple A titles with some eye-candy turned off. 

 

Upgrading just for the sake of upgrading is not really a good way to invest on your computer. :)
