I currently have a similar build.

i7 860 @ 2.8
8 GB DDR3 ram
GTX 670
120GB SSD (for my OS)
1TB WD Black HD
850W PSU

I am planning on upgrading myself in the near future and the first thing I'll get will be a new GPU and case. My immediate thought was that it was time for a new processor/mobo and then I saw someone running The Witcher 3 on ultra with the same processor and a GTX 970. Now he overclocked his and it's something I'll consider doing once I get a better case with improved air-flow but the older i7's seem to be okay still. For the GPU I'd probably get a GTX 970 unless I had the cash sitting around for a 980ti.
