i have a custom pc, and im feeling the need to upgrade something since i have some spare money available. Im satisfied with my amd 6300 cpu and gtx 760 sc gpu so those are not in question (those will be upgraded later on at the end of this year) here are my specs for the rest of the my pc

Specs: GeIL EVO Veloce Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)
Biostar TA970 Motherboard SMART
EVGA 500w PSU
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO with push pull config

Doesn't seem like you need to really upgrade anything...you're satisfied with the two biggest upgrade worthy components that would have the most immediate impact if you made changes. I suppose you could add an SSD into your build if you don't have one..but other than that unless you plan to get another 760 to SLI you could upgrade your PSU...if not just save your cash.

Mobo upgrade will get you nothing unless you are going to upgrade the proc to a better one with different socket.
PSU upgrade will get you nothing if you do not upgrade anything e.g. GPU which needs PSU upgrade.
There is no real point spending money just because you want to.

well then upgrade your motherboard..if you're staying with AMD I guess the intel stuff on the horizon doesn't matter but even then...not sure why you just feel the need to upgrade just for the sake of upgrading. A new motherboard is going to offer you nothing unless you're hurting for sata ports or m.2 support.

Keyboard and mouse... If your primary components do what they need to do to your satisfaction the only upgrades you should do are upgrade your experience, try an SSD.
