What you are running right now, best guess is that the GPU is hindering your setup. But if your system runs good and you can play whatever games you enjoy on settings that you are happy with, then you don't NEED to upgrade. If you are fairly happy then all I would do is add another 4gb RAM and an SSD to your system and install Windows on the SSD and use your 1TB for your games and storage. If you are just wanting to upgrade, then you could always do the SSD, upgrade to a 4790(k) and throw a 1080(ti) in there and you'd be set for quite a while.

If your gaming at 1080P you'll want a better GPU, anything up to a 1060 6gb would pair well with that CPU.

I'll be gaming at a 144hz monitor 1080p but thinking about getting a 1080 8gb for my GPU.
