Currently, my rig has these stats:

3.40 gigahertz Intel Core i5-3570K
ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. P8Z77-V LX Rev X.0x
TOSHIBA DT01ACA100 (1TB, 7200RPM)
8GB RAM at (4GBX2, 1600) (Crucial)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770
750W Xtreme Gear Power Supply

Are there any upgrades that would drastically increase my PCs performance? I am contemplating doing some game play recording and want a setup that would support that. I'm am learning how to build PCs, as I bought this pre-build and started attempting my on upgrades.

My current thoughts fall into this decision making order (My graphics card is not an issue ATM, it suffices for my game play experience):

(1)Go from 8 to 16 GBs (Probably Crucial Ballistic)
(2)Upgrade MOBO (Not sure how to go about this, in an upgrade sense)
(3)Install an SSD (Potentially for the OS and certain other functions)
(4)Upgrade Processor (i7 probably)
(5) New Power Supply (Heard through the grapevine that Xtreme Gear causes internal issues)

Any suggestions?
 
Solution
1. That will have minimal impact
2. No difference
3. Yes, great upgrade but it won't impact recording performance
4. This will make video rendering faster
5. The power supply shouldn't cause issues but that is most likely a generic brand so it's reliability may be questionable.
