I know I don't need to upgrade but I kinda want to. 
My budget is $850.00. 

My current setup.


Intel Core i7-4770K

Asus Maximus VI Gene

Kingston HyperX 16GB DDR3-1866

EVGA GTX 980 Ti

Samsung 850 EVO 120GB SSD

PNY 240GB SSD

WD Velicorapter 600GB HDD
NZXT S340

EVGA 850G2 PSU

I play a couple of games such as Diablo 3, BF1
I do some game streaming, photoshop and video editing.


I currently have two 23" 1080P monitors One is a Dell S2340L IPS and the other is an Acer S235hl TN panel. I was thinking about replacing the Acer with the Dell SE2417HG gaming monitor.

Recommendations and opinions?

honestly, apart from a monitor, and possibly a new drive if you are running out of space. There isn't much to upgrade
