Hi guys, I built my first pc coming up to 2 years ago now and was wondering if I should bother to upgrade anything and whether I would see much of a difference if I did? I basically just want to be able to keep building on what I've got if its more cost effective in the long run, rather than buying all new in the future.
I use my PC primarily for gaming.
Here's what I've got...

GPU: Gigabyte ATi Radeon HD 7950 Windforce 3X 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W)
Mobo: Gigabyte Z77-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3
PSU: BeQuiet Pure Power L8 530W '80 Plus Bronze' Modular Power Supply
Case: Zalman Z9 USB 3.0 Midi Tower Case - Black
RAM: Avexir Core Blue Series 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Memory Kit (AVD3U16000904G-2CW) - Blue Light
Cooler: Thermalright Macho 120 CPU Cooler
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO

Thanks :)

Not particularly. Overclock your cpu if you haven't already. You should hit somewhere around 4.2-4.5Ghz. Maybe a new gpu depending on the res you game at.
