Got a pretty decent computer but I am looking to upgrade it. I'm just unsure of what to upgrade, like whether to get another graphics cards, better processor etc.
The computers used for plenty of gaming and video editing and that.

I've currently got:
- GeForce GTX 760
- Intel i5-4670
- 28Gb RAM
- 120Gb SSD
- 1TB HDD
- Corsair 650M PSU
- Gigabyte H87 HD3 Mobo.
- CiT Neptune Gaming Case 12CM

Any help on what to go for would be great, cheers!

An i7 may benefit you slightly for video editing , for gaming not at all.

You could drop a 980ti in that rig as it stands now - it would handle it absolutely fine.

Swapping out the CPU for a 4790k would give a nice boost. As would swapping the graphics card for a gtx 970 or 980ti (depending on budget).
Neither of these updates would require replacing the other components such as motherboard, ram, PSU, etc and so while not cheap would not be too expensive either.

I was looking at upgrading to an i7-5xxx or getting a 980 Ti but i didnt know if these would require me to change my PSU or get a different case or anything

I'd recommend the two processes I mentioned above as they would be plug and play for you. The 980ti will work just fine as a single card with your current PSU.
