Any advice what i could do to improve build.

I just use my PC for gaming. I just got this setup recently. Just wondering if there is anything i could improve on in future. 

 

Motherboard Asus P8Z68-v-pro gen3

CPU Intel Core I5-3330 @ 3.00GHz

Ram - 8gb DDR3 Corsair 

Graphics card - AMD radeon R9 380X

Power supply corsair 800 

Fan - liquid coolmaster unsure proper make. 

Case, standard case. 

250gb SSD samsung 

1TB hard drive

Monitor 50 inch 4k ready tv, i hate small monitors. 

 

As i said, I use it pretty much only for gaming. Only one game i have little problem with this set up is GTA 5, and im sure that is down to their game setup rather than mine, as it plays all recent games on high graphics. Most ultra. Just wondering if there is anything more i can do to make it any better in future. My overall spend on this so far is around 550 pounds. Parts are worth more than that, but i can get a good deal at places.

I understand that part of it. But, I can't use anything smaller than what i have. Simply because i don't sit at a desk, I have my tv at the end of my bed. I can't sit at a chair and play games. My back goes after 20 minutes, hence why i have my tv. I sit at a desk all day at work, i like to relax lay back in bed to play my games.

suffice it to say, if someone's biggest critique is that you're using a tv instead of a monitor your system is ok, in a couple years you might want a cpu upgrade which will probably mean a new mobo and possibly ram, and a gpu upgrade, but if everything you want plays fine you're good. GTA5 is, from everything I've heard, is like that

Thank you fella. Yeh it works for me fine. Just wanted to see people's thoughts. I've been told I should wait and get the new card. But I don't see reasons to spend 600 on a single part.
