Not sure how to phrase this- I kind of just want to know what part of my build is in the most need of upgrade, and how long it will be viable

 

Motherboard: gigabyte z87x-hd3

GPU: dual 760s (6gb?) 

CPU: i5-4670k

RAM: Vengeance LP 2x4gb ram

Power supply: EVGA Supernova 650 gs

 

At first I thought the 760s, but they kind of kill it- on heaven benchmark 1080p ultra tessellation and all that this build got like a 2300

None that I can see. And if the GPU's have 3GB each, your SLI has 3 + 3 = 3GB. SLI only uses the lowest VRAM available since the frames are rendered in an alternating pattern.

240gb SSD, 16gb ram and decent cpu cooler if you don't already have one. You don't need i7 if you're just gaming.

Depends on the games you're playing, but having more is better than not having and needing. Your PC should be good for gaming for about 5-6 years at 60hz. 

 

Are you consistently hitting 60hz in games?

 

You may want to have your next storage upgrade be a >480GB SSD.

You'll be good for a long time then. Those would be my next suggestions but you can take your time on those.
