A 256gb SSD? A r9 280x if your on a tight budget. If your budget is higher end I assume you play 2080p games so a GTX 970.

Maybe a better power supply? EVGA G2 or GS series are great.

Not sure why people are saying to get a better PSU. The one you have is good anyway. The only thing to upgrade to would be the GPU. You can easily run a 980ti from your current PSU. Your system could also benefit from an SSD for the OS.

Thanks guys xD yeah the GPU and SSD is probably next on my list but I'm sure my PSU should be sufficient to handle one 280x/970 plus everything else.

A better GPU would do the trick.

What is your budget for a new GPU/Upgrade?

The Budget is reasonably high, around 200-300$ per upgrade.

I'd say, upgrade your gpu to an r9 280 or something on that pricepoint-esque. And maybe an ssd if it would fit into your budget.
