Gigabyte X58A-UD3R

MSI Armor 1070 GTX not looking at changing this
Sliverstone Raven 2

Give some idea of what it's to be used for, and if games give a few examples. Got SSD already? PSU probably needs changing after 8 years, unless you replaced it. Should be enough in budget for those too.
 
got two SSD's

Scandisk = SDSSDHII480G & Corsair Performance Pro

The PSU is an Antec High Current Pro 850W '80 Plus Platinum' Fully Modular Power Supply changed 8 months ago

games Elite Dangerous, & some Pubg
 
Keep what you have, it's still a good machine, ditto with SSD's. I've got the same motherboard, using Xeon x5670 at 4ghz
If you can play all your games at decent fps then it's pointless upgrading, keep it till it's unbearable slow
