Future Upgrades Suggestion

Hey ya'll! 

 

This is my first post on this forum so I am looking forward for some ideas and suggestions.

Basically I have my system going smoothly at the moment but I am thinking to get some upgrades for the future.

 

It is a Haswell system so I don't have to upgrade from Ivy Bridge at all.

 

So, I was thinking to see if I could get better performance over my i3 with a lower grade i5 or maybe i7.

And the GPU would be Gigabyte GTX 650 Ti OC version.

OH! And maybe an extra 4 GB memory can come in...

 

All of this budget is well below 500 dollars (excluding i7).

 

So I am wondering will it be worth the upgrades with these stuffs? Or should I just get some memory sticks and a better GPU.

 

Thanks! Looking forward for answers!

 

*Cheers*

Well the K version would be great.. but overclocking can scare me to death, because it will be my first time overclocking... and the 750 ti in my opinion is good choice though.. oh and i am still running the i3 at the moment..
