Your build looks decent,only thing you could upgrade is the HDD to 1TB,you could also add a SSD for an even faster boot up on games/windows however that might be complicated with things already installed.. Also why do you want to upgrade,is there any games you struggle to run?

and im pretty positive that 760's and 7950 pretty much perform the same overclocked.

If you have the computer and expect to do much with it, upgrade the RAM, bro. Get at least 8 GB. 16 GB or more if possible. I got 8 and it works okay, but I'm looking at getting 16 soon.

You don't need more than 8GB for gaming,however if you do editing or video editing then 16GB of RAM will come in handy!

Yep, that's why I'm looking at getting 16GB. But, it still should improve the gaming if I'm not mistaken? I might be wrong. I'm not the best with building PCs but I do my best.
