This are my current specs;

Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo)

CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 750W

GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD3H LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)

GIGABYTE GTX 660 2GB x2 [sLI]

SAMSUNG 830 SSD 120GB [OS]

I am currently running this machine @ 1080p in a ASUS VG248QE Black 24" 144Hz 1ms (GTG) Monitor

What would be a good notable Upgrade? Maybe a GPU Upgrade? You are the experts! Tell me! 

Thank you!

Well GPU would be nice for a change, since single cards would be more compatible and have less bugs.

Which GPU would you recommend? 

 

Depends. What's your budget?

Yeah, GPU if you really want to upgrade something.
Honestly though I'd just wait until Maxwell, and long enough that Maxwell gets some non reference cards.

Your computer is pretty stacked otherwise.
