Are you happy with your pc performance in games?
If no then consider a gpu upgrade. Maybe a GTX 770/R9 280X.
If you feel like you need more storage, get a 1 or 2TB hard drive.
If you feel like you want a new case, monitor, keyboard, mouse, speaker or headset...etc, then get one.
if you happy, you don;t need to upgrade.

Thanks for the reply!
I'm currently relatively happy with my pc, but I feel like I could use a new motherboard/CPU/PSU as they are old.
What do you think?

If it works, you don't need to upgrade them just yet.
i5 2500 is still ok.
Since DDR 4 is coming out, wait until Broadwell CPU comes.

OK, great!
Thanks so much for the helpful feedback! I'll wait a while before I start upgrading :)
