Hi, i was wondering about what should i do to improve my computer more for playing games, what parts would you recommend upgrading to improve my gaming experience and my general use experience? My current system is displayed below.

If you have any questions please ask.

Case: Zalman Z9 Plus (Fan upgrade?)
CPU: i5 3470 / 3.2ghz (Overclock?)
RAM: Kingston 8gb 1600mhz DDR3
HDD: 1TB and 500gb Western digital HDD (Add SSD?)
Networking: WIRELESS 802.11N 150Mbps ( Was thinking of trying Ethernet would cause annoyance as router is bottom floor and in an attic)
GPU: Asus GeForce GTX770 2gb OC
MOBO: ASUS® P8H61-MX Micro ATX (Full size ATX?)
PSU: Corsair 750w
CPU Fan: Intel standard cooler.

I was personally thinking of a a new CPU cooler to allow OC and also a SSD to boot quicker (120gb?) and maybe a full size ATX MOBO. Temperatures are quite good i think i get around 20 degrees idle and 55 degrees under load but i was considering noctua fans as the fans that came with the case are aesthetically pleasing they are quite loud.
Maybe further down the line looking at a sound card and Fan Filters?

If i have left anything out please let me know.
 
Case: If the fans are too loud for you, then you could consider replacing them or to build in a fan controller, if you're sure it's the fans which are loud. Afaik there are fan filters already.
CPU: Good enough, I suppose it'll still be until Skylake comes out. But unless you forgot to add a "k" to the model, you won't be able to overclock it by more than 200MHz and even that's risky and is definitely not possible with the H61 chipset.
RAM: Under normal circumstances you don't need more.
Storage: An SSD is never a bad idea, that would be my first priority purchase if I were you.
Networking: I don't know how fast your Internet is, but if it's less or exactly 150 Mbps, then I see no problem here.
Graphics: Unless you have 3 monitors or a 4k HD one, don't even think about it to replace it in the next time :)
MoBo: Good for your current rig, not good if you'd buy an overclockable CPU. If you want to buy a sound card for whatever reason, it should fit, as the graphics card is not higher then two slots afaik. Full ATX is not necessary, except if you want an SLI configuration or more than two PCI/PCIe expansion cards.
PSU: A bit of an overkill for your current system, but no need to replace it unless you want every bit of efficiency drawn out.
CPU Cooler: if it's not too loud for you, you can keep it, since you can't overclock anyway. The temperatures are very good.
