I would get a better graphics card first, are you planning on gaming at resolutions of 1080p or higher? A gtx 750ti would be a solid upgrade but you'll like the gtx760 better. I've used both cards (overclocked of course) to play most games at 1080p, played fallout 4 at high/max settings at 1080p ~60fps vsync on the gtx760 oc'd by 1ghz on the ram.

If you want to game at even higher res you'll need a better card like a 780 or a 970 or for 4k a 980 or 780ti.

Also I would buy an aftermarket cpu cooler and try for 4ghz if you're comfortable overclocking.

The video card will make the biggest difference. Look at what funds you have available and get the highest you are able to afford for the money. Just make sure your psu can handle what load it will be handling, and you update your drivers.
