are your cpu water or air cooled?
If air cooled, are you using stock fan or aftermarket fan?

You could OC bot your cpu and gpu a little to increase performance depending on what you do with your PC.
things you can do upgrade:
gpu (depending on what games you play)
ram (if you do heavy rendering/editing)
buy an aftermarket cooler (air is cheaper but water is best + OC a bit more if you want).

And check how much watts your psu have so you have enough power for OC.

I would recommend getting a SSD of 120GB or higher and that is pretty much it, your GPU sounds fine (I'm guessing it is a 7850 or 7870) but you will want to upgrade soon to play everything at max in 1920x1080p.

I use an HD7770 for all my videos along with an i3 3225. I don't see the need for you to overclock your CPU, but your GPU can be overclocked around 200Mhz for slightly better performance. Good luck!

Your Computer is fine as it is. You are nowhere near of immidate update unless you really want to get that ULTRA MEGA SUPER EYE CANDY that mostly just actually makes it worst to watch. So unless you really want to play maximum possible graphic settings, there's no point upgrading your current comp.

But if I had to choose somethingto be upgraded next, it would be the Graphics card.

What are my possible choices on my Graphics card?I don't know much about compatibility.Thanks!

I definitely think getting something slightly better like a 7870 or GTX 760 ti would be one step up from what you have now. If you want even better (you're gonna have to spend a little more cash), go for something like a GTX 770 or 7970. Good luck!
