Get a solid state drive. That's the easiest and most cost effective upgrade I see here.

Other than that, the graphics card is fine. The CPU isn't amazing, but it will do the trick for now. The MOBO is fine (that's what I am running too).

A Corsair Force GT SSD is a great deal to have :) Other than effeciency, it works like magic.

Anyways, You can also upgrade your card.
Big budget? Go R9 290x
Medium budget? Go R9 280X
Small budget? Get SSD :)

If this is your MB:

You can do SLI, so, I'd go for a second 7870. That will crank up your FPS THE most, period.

Now, the Coolmax 700watt supply might not be up to the task for SLI. You can try running it, if it work solidly your good to go. (I'd estimate you'll be drawing about 550watts while gaming with 7870's in SLI...)

If not, go for a Corsair 850HX or (Seasonic, or Antec.. 850watt suppiles...)

SSD are nice, but, won't increase your FPS at all. They will improve boot times & shave a few seconds of level loads..
