What are your peripherals? Your PC looks pretty good. Maybe you could upgrade the cooler to a Noctua NH-U12s Chromax.

Your budget doesn't really allow for much of an upgrade aside from an i7, but if you're gaming it's not necessarily going to make a huge difference.

I'd consider upgrading your peripherals. Or get a better chair.

 

As others have said, there's absolutely no point in asking this early.

You can put a K-series Intel CPU in a non-Z-series board, but it's a big waste of money unless you know you're going to buy a compatible Z board later.

PLEASE STOP [Killing] ME I WILL GIVE Y OU ANOTHER DEAL.

Basically all your parts are pretty decent but if you wait a little longer and have deep pockets, cpu and motherboard would be your next logical upgrade. But where you're at now is already pretty good.
