I have recently upgraded my rig, but I am wondering where I should be looking next.

This is my current system.

I7 4770k
H75 Cooler
Asus VI Hero Mobo
GTX670 KFA2 EXOC
XFI Sound card
128Gb SSD for OS boot
1Tb SSHD for games
2 Other storage HDDs
Seasonic 650W Gold PSU
P180 antec case

I will be getting a Maxwell graphics card when they release, but I currently have a bit of money burning a hole in my pocket. Where do you think I should be looking next for a performance boost?

Would a Raid for the OS boot disk be worth it, or possibly an SSD for games over the SSHD I currently have.

My 2 other storage drives are fairly old and slow, would getting 2Tb WD reds be a sensible choice?

Most of my gaming is done with a corsair usb headset, but when I lan with a few friends my PC is often used to play movies, so I plug into the surround sound system via the XFI, I dont think upgrading this is worthwhile.

I am currently using a 24inch monitor for gaming at 1920X1080 and have a 19inch for other use. I would quite like to get a Gsync screen when they release, or would getting 2 more 1920X1080s be better. I play a range of games from Grid to GW2 to starbound and skyrim/fallout series.

I have looked at Water cooling, but I think it would be tricky in this particular case as it is rather full.

Basically, where should I look to next to improve general and gaming performance?
 
Your set IMO, there isn't really anything to upgrade that's worthwhile from a gaming or general productivity perspective.
A water-cooling loop is viable, though as you have figured out would also require a case upgrade as well as being fairly expensive itself.
