well, the best thing you could do would be to get a R9 290x, or you could wait till november and get an 880.

What is your budget?
You can really take two paths, nothing NEEDS to be upgraded, but there are two things that can be replaced.
You can A) upgrade the graphics card to something like the 290x or 780ti, or maxwell 8xx series.
Or
B) Upgrade processor to something like the 4690k and a Z97 board.
