You're pretty good on the graphics card front there. If it were me I would probably throw in a nice SSD in just to improve the general snappiness of your system.

What is it not doing that you need it to do?

[Mr.Meerkat]

CPU? (not necessary for gaming really)

SSD?  (more speed for everything else basically except gaming)

Extra 8GB of Ram? (why not eh?)
