It's still a solid 1080P gaming system so performance wise there's not much I'd change. Adding in some RGB fans though for some aesthetics/better cooling would be ideal. I really like the Thermaltake Riing RGB fans.

You could do two in the front as intake, maybe mount one on the CPU cooler (move the stock fan to the back of the heatsink) then keep the stock top/rear as exhaust.

thats the fan system I currently have. its superbad. just looking at the review after I got tons of people have the same issue I do, they say its the controller thats faulty. i dealt with it for years so time to get a new one

I think its close to end of the road, any upgrades will not be worth $ invested.
with 1080p no reason to go higher. (maybe grab another ssd or HDD)
When you will need more power, new mobo will be needed.
still I would wait for 3'rd ryzen series, or even 4'th one as they seem to be a lot of cores (so prices of 6-8 cores will drop)
and that + ddr4/NVME SSD will be major change.

Agreed, no point upgrading anything major at that resolution.

Well if it's just the controller then maybe swap it to a NZXT or Corsair one maybe?

The only other suggestion I could make is changing your main screen to a 2560/1080P/75hz/IPS/Freesync ultra wide then using your 24" as a secondary monitor. Depending on the game 21:9 gives better immersion and in most games is supported or at the very least there's a fairly easy fix for it. Also your system would handle it well, a 29" 21:9 has pretty much the same vertical height as your 24" monitor too so your setup and the PPI will be very similar.

If you had a 4th gen i7 then i'd say don't upgrade. However if you like to play current triple A titles a cpu/motherboard/memory upgrade would be advisable. If you play esports titles and less demanding games, you don't care about graphical quality and your fps stays at around 60 then i'd say float on that existing build for another year or two.
