Upgrading my pc and i need some ideas :)

I got my PC 1 year ago and im looking to upgrade it. Im not that good with what my PC needs to run better, if there is something on the edge of working(needs upgrade) I would love to know.

 

 

Processor: Intel Core i7-4790K

RAM: HyperX Savage DDR3 1600MHz 8GB

PSU: Cooler Master B600 VER.2, 600W

Chassi: Corsair Carbide 330R Blackout Edition

Graphics Card: MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB

Motherboard: MSI B85M-E45, Socket-1150

Storage: Seagate® Desktop SSHD 1TB

Monitor: BenQ 24" LED GL2450 (x2)

 

I need opinions, can this build be improved? This is on a budget (ca 250$) All ideas appreciated. :)

Get a better PSU. Why'd you get a B board and buy a K cpu?

Either a SSD as a boot and applications drive or a new Video Card. Depends if you want more responsive loading or more in-game fps.

 

Or maybe a better CPU cooler if you want to overclock your CPU (If that motherboard supports overclocking).

In order:

1. Get an actual SSD

2. Get a better motherboard

3. Get a nicer GPU

These are the things that I would recommend you do to improve this system.

You can replace it, yes. You can't upgrade the current board though.

You can replace it. But switching it to a Z board would just let you OC.
