What brand is your power supply? What resolution are you playing games at?

If you have spare cash lying around, the best place to put it is in a long-term CD at the bank, or invest it in an index fund at Vanguard.

If you insist on spending it, what type of storage are you using? Upgrading a HDD to a SSD for the OS and programs provides the best bang for the buck improvement. Your other components look sufficiently modern that the performance gain of an upgrade would be incremental. You may want to wait until later in the year though. Intel and Micron's XPoint is supposed to be officially released later this year, and we'll get to see if the actual product lives up to the hype.

Well about the best video card you could get would be a 1070 for that resolution without breaking the bank and being massive overkill. Going with an SSD for the OS and a few games would help with load times and make the system "feel" faster.
