You can't take advantage of 1866MHz or 1600MHz on your current motherboard. The Intel Desktop Board DH67BL and Intel Core i7-2600 supports only Dual DDR3 1066/1333 (i.e., 1066MHz or 1333MHz only). If you upgrade your RAM to either a 4GB 1866MHz or 1600MHz, it will downclock to 1333MHz speeds (as if nothing happened with your current Corsair 4GB 1333MHz RAM).

If you want to stick with your motherboard and CPU, you might want to increase the RAM capacity to 8GB (instead of increasing speed which is not supported), esp. if you'll want to get a more powerful GPU.

For the GPU, you can go as far as RX 480 4GB/8GB (or even GTX 1060 3GB/6GB) with that i7-2600. Your PSU, though not the best out there in terms of quality, would have enough amperes at the +12V rail (at 42A total or 504W) to run an i7-2600 + RX480/GTX1060 setup, and ample 6/8-pin supplemental PCIE power connectors if needed.

Suggestion on data storage is to get a ~250GB SSD and pair it with a ~1TB HDD. Use your SSD as your system drive, programs/applications, web browser, utilities, and some frequently-used games. Use the HDD as your general storage drive and seldom-used games. You can also use your existing Seagate 500GB as the HDD, instead of buying a new one. A good SSD price/performance-wise would be the Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SATA 2.5" Drive.

Thanks for the kind information & Suggestion.
I Already bought Dual Channel Hyper X 4GB 1866 Mhz (2x4GB).
Can i install it on my system , Will it cause any problem to my Intel DH67BL Mob & i7 2600.

For Storage Seagate 1 TB 3.5" FIRECUDA SSHD Drive SATA 6GB/s 64MB Cache ST1000DX002 will it enough speed for gaming along with Intel 180GB SSD

Yes you can install it. The 1866MHz will just downclock its speed to what your CPU and motherboard can only support (which is 1333MHz). I don't see it causing any problems of incompatibility.

I don't use Hybrid SSD-HHD drives (your initially-selected Seagate Firecuda review here: http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/storage/internal-hard-drives/1402500/seagate-desktop-sshd-review). Personally, I'd pair a 240 or 250GB SSD (Samsung 850 EVO but if you can't afford it, ADATA, PNY, or SanDisk would suffice) with a 1TB HDD (Western Digital Caviar Blue has good price/performance/noise balance, if you want faster but noisier Western Digital Caviar Black, with longer warranty than the Blue.)
