Stick with the CPU. It is still good enough.

Better grab GTX 970.

I'd upgrade to 8GB and a better GPU

thanks everyone for the answers.

Seems like it will be the GTX 780 or 970 i will buy. Would anyone know hat kind of voltage i require for these cards? 1000watt? 800watt?

for the 8GB MEM upgrade is there a particular brand which is better?

GTX 970 requires so little power, you would be fine with a quality 600w. Your CPU is triple channel, so you should be doing 6b or 12gb for proper performance.

LStrike :

GTX 970 draws power 145W for which 500W PSU is mentioned as recommended. That is the beauty of Maxwell, it is power efficient.

Your CPU has 3 Memory Channels. You will be benefited with three RAMs at a time though it is not necessary. You can grab 2x4GB at this time and add one more 4GB module later on if require. Buying triple channel kit would be helpful to ensure the compatibility between the modules.

Try G.Skill Ripjaws X or Trident, In Corsair you may try Vengeance.

Good luck.
