With the Black Friday/ Cyber Monday sales around the corner, I have decided to do an upgrade to my rig this year. I know my CPU and MOBO are dated and was leaning towards those avenues. I mostly use my rig for gaming (Steam, Ubisoft, Origin, etc.) streaming and web browsing. Personally, I would like to save some $$$ during the deals in the following week and thought I would ask of hints of items people have seen on sale (through Newegg, Tigerdirect, etc.) that would be a good upgrade for my PC. Thanks!

Specs:
CPU: i5 2500K
PSU: PC Power & Cooling Silencer MKII 950w
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming
MOBO: ASRock P68 Extreme 4 Gen 3
Storage: Samsung 850 1TB SSD Primary/ 1TB WD HDD Slave
VRAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8GB
Monitor: Asus VX 238H
 
Nothing as far as I can tell that system is just fine, including the 2500K. Maybe the GPU, go SLI, or just just higher tier if you want more FPS. I guess you can always get more RAM but you'll get next to no benefit from that for your use case.

You could overclock like popatim suggested if you're not already.
