Only thing I would upgrade is Case and maybe GPU if you want a higher refresh rate of resolution or unhappy with current performance.

What gpu would you recommend?

Well it depends on games you play and what you're aiming for, the best price to performance card for 1080p gaming at high-ultra would be the 390

So far I play some smaller games

Like:

Don't starve

H1n1

Titan fall

Stranded deep

Unturned

Good

Nosgoth

So nothing to big,

But that being said I plan to get bigger games on it
