What should I upgrade next?

[logixbear]

So I got a free pc and I am very budget minded, the use for my pc is 1080 to 1440 gaming. SO I was looking for suggestions on a good budget oriented upgrade for it, I was thinking ram (2x8 16gb 3200 for $60 USD) but does anyone have on additional or other budget minded upgrade suggestions for this build???

 

Here is the build:

 

CPU
    Intel Core i7 6700K @ 4.00GHz    
   
RAM
    16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR4 @ 2400Mhz

Motherboard
    Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. Z170X-Gaming 3 (U3E1)    

 

Graphics
     4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (MSI)    (OVER CLOCKED)

 

Storage
    223GB PNY CS900 240GB SSD (SATA (SSD))    
    931GB Western Digital WDC WD1002FAEX-00Z3A0 (SATA )

1440p gets a nice upgrade if choosing a new GPU

Ram speed gives a small boost each step up,....to minimums and maximums but mainly when the CPU is at Higher Usages you see more benefit.

Also,...

Ryzen 1-2 is cheap online (new) and you could sell and budget friendly make a platform upgrade (CPU/RAM/Board) and keep the GTX1070 a bit longer...
