Thinking of upgrading, but what should I do?

So I have been thinking of upgrading my system that I built last year and would like to gauge the community's opinion on what I should invest my money on. I use my rig for a lot of FPS gaming (Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, Fallout 4, etc.).

The system is as follows:

- AMD FX8350 with Corsair H100 watercooler
- ASUS Crosshair V Formula mobo
- ASUS GTX 760 gpu
- G-Skill Sniper DDR3-1866 4x4GB
- Samsung 840 EVO 250 & 120 GB SSD
- WD Black 1 TB HDD
- Corsair HX750 psu

What would you upgrade and why? Can you suggest any good products to purchase?

What is your budget?
I would look at a 970, your processor is not the best for gaming per say, but it can still hold its own no problem. The 760 however is starting to show its age.
The rest of the system looks solid.

Right now I have no budget, just trying to figure out what I should be looking at. So why do you say the processor is a weak link?

The processor really isnt the weak link, its the 760.
However, eventually the processor will need to be replaced, its simply not keeping up with intel in games. At the current time, it still performs well enough (especially with an OC)

Agreeing with the earlier post. The gpu us outdated for these days games, and if you were to sell your gpu, you can get a 950,960, or 970 which are all significantly better. Once the gpu is upgraded, you can upgrade the CPU next. After that, everything else should be fine to keep. Hope I helped

Well Corsair,

Try not to hurry, and wait for good opportunity to buy gpu in 970, 390 range. As Gam said your other components are pretty solid and will last for a next few years.

Best luck,

Thanks guys for your quick responses on this questions. Would any of you upgrade the RAM I am using?

16GB of 1886, that is a sweet spot to be in.
