RE: What should I improve next to increase the overall performance? - Mr_Sprawl - 12-13-2016
Everything seems pretty solid, if you want to improve performace... even though it probably already hauls ass... I'd improve the RAM. I only like high ram so I can run multiple VMs unhindered on my devices.
EDIT: Any other changes seem to be simply cosmetic. The monitor is solid along with the keyboard and mouse. Case seems also really good and can keep it cool. The increase in memory is boarderline redudnant at 3TB and an i7 is also more than what most things need. With this, RAM appears to be the ONLY option to improve performance.

If you're looking for aesthetic improvements, I'd recommend getting a good ultrawide (pretty nice, decently cheap one here). If you're looking for performance improvements, maybe a newer graphics card (GTX-980, maybe even just upgrade your current to a Ti).
What are the clock speed and timings on your RAM? That might be something to improve on.

Only thing I miss on first sight is an SSD. I have upgraded my PC several times but haven't noticed such a big difference as I had when I upgraded to an SSD.

I think your setup is good the way it is.
I mean, you can watch anime on it...

In regards to Inori's post (i couldn't quote it oddly)
I like to go off of this list, while the current GPU is ranked 23, the GTX-980 is 10.
GPU
I think it depends on what the device is being used for.

Interesting, I may consider upgrading my RAM.

I was thinking maybe get Dual screens?

3tb does me good.

I like the way you think.

Your PC is pretty over kill, but since your RAM is DDR3 your should upgrade to DDR4 with 32GB RAM sticks. Thought, I would upgrade to A GTX 1070 if you want to game on your PC

I do not see a PC's limit, therefore there's no such thing as overkill.

Well if you have a 3000$ for checking your email I would consider it overkill.
