your build seems great :D I wouldn't spend money on upgrading it since u have all you need. I guess adding 2 sticks of 4 ram wouldn't hurt :D

It's already pretty balanced xD I would not upgrade it since the cpu, RAM and GPU are in the same level and a newer component would create bottlenecks. The only thing I would possibly do is a Mechanical keyboard or a more reliable PSU

Since you already have a decent video card and an SSD, your next upgrade will be CPU.  Get an Intel CPU, man.  AMD CPUs are garbage in terms of performance.

 

However, upgrading the CPU will require that you also buy a new motherboard.  Luckily, your DDR3 RAM can carry over, so you're looking at an overall cost of around $400 for a decent CPU + motherboard combo.

Missed that part.  If that's the case, then don't bother doing anything.  Just save your money, until you can switch CPU platforms.
