That's a fairly decent GPU.

I suggest upping your PSU. People might say you don't need to but it's better to have to much to be future proof.
Also Upgrading your HDD to at least 1TB, or even moving to SSD's. This is fairly costly but would allow your PC to run much faster on bootup.

However, I'm unsure on AMD CPU's as I work with Intel, so my only worry is if that will cause you to bottle neck in the future (depending on the specs of it) if you ever decide to get a top of the range GPU.

According to rank my computer on the can you run it website, It's really good a whole step ahead of others by AMD

I say start at the processor,then get a better hdd or get an ssd,your grapic card is pretty good,so you dont have to upgrade it any time soon.And possibly upgrade your audio card
