The best thing you could probably do is upgrade your GPU when pascal/polaris GPU's come out. Apart from that, you could increase your SSD storage, 500Gb SSD's are fairly cheap now. You could always add another 8Gb of RAM if you think you might need it, it depends what you use your PC for.

All those upgrades would be a pretty good idea then, how much money do you think you'll have?

Well you could upgrade your GPU when pascal/polaris comes out then if they're priced anywhere near the current lot of cards. Or you could buy another 380 second hand, I'm sure when the new cards come out their will be plenty of people selling them at low prices, then you could possibly upgrade your RAM as well, which would help with video editing. In fact you could probably buy a second hand 380, 8Gb of RAM, and a 500GB SSD
