    What kind of performance are you looking for? Don't just add to the price because you can.

    That said I would highly recommend adding an SSD, either of these:

    PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

    Storage: Crucial M4 128GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($99.99 @ Newegg)
    Storage: Samsung 830 Series 128GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($97.49 @ B&H)
    Total: $197.48]
    (Prices include shipping and discounts when available.)

    You could also get a better quality motherboard if you want to push overclocking a little further.

    ASRock Z77 Pro4-M
    ASUS P8Z77-V LK
    ASRock Z77 Extreme4

    Could get a better GPU:

    MSI R7870 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition

    No direct performance increase but a higher quality case could be something to consider:

    Corsair Carbide Series 400R
    Fractal Design Arc Midi
    Corsair Carbide Series 500R Black
    Corsair Carbide Series 500R White

    ok thx for the reply, now between the ASRock Z77 Extreme4 and the ASUS P8Z77-V LK, what one should i get ? they are almost the same price, and im kind of a gamer if i go with asus should i get the P8Z77-V pro instead ?

    Which features on the P8Z77-V pro do you need/want that isn't on the P8Z77-V LK? If there is any then go for the board that supports your needs.

    Personally I prefer Asus boards (software, fan control, build quality) so that will get my recommendation but a few in here will probably tell you to get the Asrock board, really up to you. similar to my first comment go for whichever fulfill your needs the best, performance wise they're all very close.
