Why/what are you looking to upgrade?

 

For one, a PSU upgrade would be a good place to start, I haven't heard the best things about the TXM series.

Which part of this system doesn't fit your use case right now? If there's no real reason to wanting to upgrade, we can't help much other than perhaps tell you to throw RGB lighting everywhere.

Yiissssss RGB everything! Guaranteeed +25fps in everything and looks so good it will make everyone think you're the next Picasso. But for real I'd honestly switch the GPU for something new (gl with finding one in a reasonable price tho) and probably the psu tbh.

You could try to mod the BIOS on the titan. I did it with mine and got a stable 1168Mhz overclock which was better then the 1000Mhz overclock I was getting. just look for modded titan bios. GPU prices are just too much to even attempt upgrading, but the rest of your system is still pretty high end.
