Does my pc setup need upgrade?

[Neolitz]

Processor: Intel 2600k (i7)
VGA: MSI GTX 760 HAWK
MB: MSI Z68 GD 55
RAM: 4x4GB (dual channel) Corsair
No Virtual memory (on windows)
SSD: 120GB on OS
HDD: around 6TB spread (ext and int)
OS: Win 7 x64 Professional
PSU: Corsair VX550W

Additional Comp:
Sound Card: Asus Xonar DX
Corsair H100i

Used Resolution : 1980x1080p (primary monitor), 1680x1050 (secondary monitor)

Issues:
- Somehow if i put my vga on first slot of PCI-E 16x, my monitor wont show anything. So I'm using it in second slot. (i would like to use first slot back, but idk how lol)

Usage:
- Gaming ( I played CoD BO3 with med setting and getting 60fps, but down to 40 when on heavy load)
- Coding

Is there anything i need to replace, I'm thinking of upgrading, but which one should be prioritized. I can't upgrade all at once.

You are the only person that can decide if you need an upgrade.

I'm actually confused, is more like "does anything seems need to be improved even further?"

As I just said, only you can answer that question. For example:

Your Intel i7 has 4 cores, 8 threads. There are processors that exist on the market right now that have 22 cores, 44 threads. Do you need to upgrade necessarily? No.

There are motherboards that support processors like those with 22 cores/44 threads. Do you need one? Chances are no.

You have 16GiB RAM. If you don't run out of RAM you don't need to upgrade. However, some people benefit from 64GiB RAM. Do you need 64GiB? Chances are, again, no.

Solid state drive is one thing. 120GiB isn't that much for a SSD. I have a 120GiB SSD with basic stuff installed on it and I only have 40GiB remaining. Depending on what you want to do, you may want a bigger SSD.

As for hard drives, you can theoretically get over 60TiB of space. Do you need more than 6TiB atm? Only one that can answer that is you.

As for OS, Windows 10 has benefits over Windows 7 -- but there are some compatibility issues. Windows 10 is the future, but you don't need to upgrade at all.

As for power supply/video card, if you need a better video card then chances are PSU should be fine "unless" you get a really high powered video card.

Hope that helps.

thanks for the answer.

let say i want to able to play at max settings, preferably in the next 2-3 years.
does my current cpu will able to handle it?

My vga surely wont be able to handle it for sure, but does processor really needed to play most of new games?

on another note, my current motherboard have a fault PCI-E 16x first slot, which force me to put my vga on slot 2 (0/8).

I really have no idea, does 16/0 is faster than 0/8? if yes how much? is it important?

im gonna post the question on my motherboard page later. but it would help if you can help me
