So I built a PC a few years back and I got a little extra cash and am looking to upgrade it a bit.

Would love some imput. Thanks : )

I'm assuming my next best bet for upgrading would be a better hard drive or picking up a mSATA drive sence my motherboard is compatible with it, but I'm looking for suggestions.
Thanks again for any input

Money is really not an object, just what enticed me to look at upgrading.

I don't know, it looks pretty well rounded. How's the graphics card doing?(I don't know much about that card). You could always go crossfire. Though another ssd is never a bad thing.

The gpu severely weakens your system, consider upgrading it if you want better gaming performance

Depends if you want to throw several hundreds of $$$ at it or not, You could go with a GTX 760 or 770 which are around $250 for 760 and $300 for 780(R9 290 is also worth a mention but 780 performs better I believe) or you can go for something a bit cheaper like an R9 270X

your parts won't bottleneck a nice and powerful card if that's a concern.
