What are you looking for out of an upgrade? More performance, but for what?

Gaming? If so, what monitor do you use?

Video editing? 3d rendering? specific software?

For gaming the platform is fine. You could consider buying a new monitor if your old one is quite low spec, and one of the new Nvidia GPUs that are due out.

Depending entirely on budget and what you actually are looking to achieve by an upgrade / new system
