    You could upgrade your graphics card, but if I were you I'd wait for the next gen of Intel processors due out by the end of the year / early next year and then build a new PC from scratch with the new CPU, a new mobo plus DDR4 RAM. You'd probably get decent money back for your current CPU / mobo / RAM

    That's what I'm waiting for :D

    Build is perfect to me, GPU would be only worthwhile upgrade and the one you have is still pretty good. Maybe wait for Skylake cpus as unkel has said, or wait for the 300 series of AMD GPUs in the coming months

    SSD. That's what is missing. Unless it isn't. Otherwise the build is still up to date.

    SSD & GPU upgrade is all that's needed.
    Minimal performance difference even if you were to upgrade to an i5 4690K;

    For SSD's check out Crucial BX100 250GB @ €100 or Samsung Evo 850 @ €110 delivered (amazon)
    For GPU, depends on your usage, an R9 280x/290x you would need the PSU upgraded as well.
