Built my computer in 2011 - Advice on whether I should upgrade or not

[MIKSHMURDA]

Hey guys! In 2011 I built my first computer and loved it. But something that I've regretted over the years was not getting a SSD for it. Fast forward to 2015 (I'm using this date since it's so close), I've decided it's time to upgrade. I've already bought a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD. Now I'm trying to decide if it's worth upgrading my motherboard, RAM, and graphics card. I'd really love all your opinions and any advice you could give me, thanks!

The information below is the current hardware that I'm running inside my computer right now.
Graphics card - EVGA GeForce GTX 560 1024 MB
Motherboard - ASUS P8Z68-V PRO Motherboard
RAM - Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800)

since upgrading motherboard, you'd also have to get a cpu I don't think its worth it. Especially if you already have an i5 or i7. Ram is just fine hasn't changed much. The only thing I would upgrade is the graphics card. I can suggest something depending on your budget or the performance you want.

Yeah I currently I have an i5 cpu, if I upgrade the graphics card I'd like to keep it under $500, preferably in the $300 or lower (But if you know anything really worth going over $300, please list). Thank you!

A really good value right now are the r9 290's and 290x's they are selling from 200-250 if you can catch one on sale. If you prefer Nvidia the 960 should be out soon, and the 970 is a great option right now at about 330.
