Well, the most important upgrade I see is the GPU. However you could also use a ram upgrade while you're at it.

You can likely get a mid-level 970 with your $200. You could also get the AMD RX 480, you know if we ever fix power draw issues.

You could add another 8GB of RAM, and you should probably add some mass storage.

What are you using for cooling, PSU, and case?

Not worth buying an rx 480, as it's not really much of an upgrade over a 970. The 970 is still plenty powerful for most gaming, including VR. Unless you want 4k gaming, there isn't much reason to upgrade your GPU right now.

The best upgrade I see is to get one more 8GB ram stick (make sure it's exactly the same as the other one), and buy a 1TB hard drive. How can you manage with only 120GB?!

I really like my GPU, i'd like to keep it

I was thinking about getting HyperX Savage DDR3 2400MHz 16GB, and i have no idea tbh. I'm buying another SSD soon tho

My PSU is
ZALMAN ZM600-GLX - 80+ - 600W - NON-MODULAR (ZM600-GLX)
and my case is a Zalman Z11 Midtower

I would just pick up a matching stick of ram. A bigger SSD would be a good idea too. I would recommend getting a better quality PSU, tier 1 or 2. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html?577d649323d54=reload
