For gaming? A new GPU would make a massive difference. Maybe another 8gb of RAM, but that won't have as big an impact as a new GPU would.

Yeah, sorry mate forgot to add that this was for gaming my bad. Thanks for the advice, how much would i be looking at to get a good upgrade for my gpu?

GPU 100%. Depending on budget a GeForce 1060 or Radeon RX 480 would be big upgrade. Both would work well for 1080p gaming. Both £200-250. Maybe slightly less.

If you're looking to game in 1440p or above look at the 1070 or 1080.

I would also push the overclock a little, you have a decent cooler

Okay, thanks very much for the advice i will look into a new gpu soon and will definitely have a look at the 1060 for its cost. Also thanks for the advice on the overclock i was thinking of that myself.
