Here is my PC right now:
Intel Core i7 4790K @ 4.00GHz
16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3
ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. MAXIMUS VII HERO (SOCKET 1150)
LG ULTRAWIDE (2560x1080@144Hz)
2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti (EVGA)
238GB Samsung SSD 850 PRO 256GB
111GB KINGSTON SV300S37A120G
931GB Western Digital WDC WD1003FZEX-00MK2A0

I have used this pc for about 3 years. How should I upgrade it to get a better gamming performance?

So you're really in a weird place because you have ample RAM, you're already using an SSD, you've got a decent GPU, and pretty good CPU.

The only way you're going to see a pretty big jump is upgrading the GPU but the only one that will see you getting an impactful and noticeable difference would be upgrading to a 1080ti.

If you are looking for the absolutely most impactful upgrade you'll end up basically rebuilding your entire PC.
