Gaming PC Upgrade Suggestion?

I want to upgrade my PC, and being cyber monday, today is as good a day as any. I would like it to be less than $200, but I'm open to suggestions if it's worth the money. Here is my build:

Case: Cougar MG100 MicroATX Mini Tower Case
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (OEM) (64-bit)
PSU: Rosewill RG630-S12 - Green Series 630-Watt Active PFC Power Supply Unit - Continuous @ 104 Deg. F (40C), 80 PLUS Bronze Certified, Single 12V Rail, Compatible with Core i7, i5
GPU: XFX Double D Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition DirectX 11 FX-787A-CDFC 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
Monitor: Samsung 21.5" LED
Basic Gaming keyboard and mouse that I'm happy with.

The only upgrade I would recommend being even worth it would be a gpu upgrade. And upgrading your gpu would cost more than $200 to get better performance. You already have a pretty decent build.

Good enough
just try to change the psu to SeaSonic/XFX

For up to $200, you should get a R9 380 or GTX 960. If you invest $50 more (maybe selling your current GPU), you could get a R9 380X and a better PSU.

So unless I drop $400+ I should probably just stick with what I got?

The R9 380 would give around a 39% increase in performance. If you can find a really good deal on one then maybe you would find it worth the investment. I personally would wait until Nvidia releases their pascal gpu's next year.
