Nothing.

Wait for something worth while.

Got a nice desk/mouse mat?

If you want to 100% upgrade something, go custom watercooling?
Or you can go Z77
Or a bigger SSD

yeah got a desk and a boogie bug mat

, was thinking of getting a new Mobo as i hear my board is not as good for Xfire as some others..

Your board does Crossfire/SLI at 8X/8X like most of the other boards.

Boards that do 16X/16X wont gain you much - http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Intel/Ivy_Bridge_PCI-Express_Scaling/23.html

Errm, give it to charity?
Or you could go all out and do a full custom water loop (GPU and CPU)!

Have no idea about water cooling , would not know where to start....
