Definitely get a second stick of DDR3 for dual channel bandwidth.

Any other opinions?

Depends on what you want to do better/faster.

I use it predominately for video games, however overall speed would be my goal.

Upgrading your gpu would give you better performance in games. If you feel like you're not getting the FPS/setting you want in your game, then that should definitely be the first thing you do.

Any thoughts on what else I should upgrade or leave it alone for now?
