your system isn't actually too bad. Maybe get 16GB of 1600MHz ram and if you want a new CPU and you're familiar with the i5, a 4660 would be nice. but reallym your motherboard is the most out of date thing seeing as we're on 97 chipset now

Okay well remember all of these things except the graphics card is 4 years old

Honestly, your system seems pretty Solid. You could I guess get a newer/better CPU or just find a used i7 2600. Sandy bridge is still very much capable of handling games and other applications. Difference between that and haswell is about 18% so idk if it's worth getting a newer i5 when you could potentially get an i7 for less and with the rest of the cash go for some more and better RAM. Maybe an SSD if you don't already have one?

If youre looking to upgrade get a 970 or something, your system really doesent need an upgrade, other than GPU if you want even better performance, if you have the PSU to support it maybe get a 980

i5 2500k and 970 can easily run Witcher 3 on ultra at 50 fps (according to PC gamer). Like everyone is saying, the 770 is still a great GPU. Maybe a newer i5 or like I said, older i7. Think about an SSD as well.
