There is no reason to upgrade.  Your system is perfectly fine.

If you want some minor improvements, here are a few things I would recommend:

Recommended
GPU: 7970 --> GTX 970 (ASUS, EVGA, or MSI, whichever is on sale)
HDD: 500 GB --> 1 TB (Seagate Barracuda)

Optional
RAM: Something other than CL9 1333.  Check what your mobo can support.
Mobo: Current --> ASRock Z77 Extreme4 (Getting harder to find, might not be worth it new)

If you really want to splurge, get a 980 over the 970.


ok thanks again, I just figured since it had been a few years than why not :P but if it's still a good rig I'll roll with it, may get new gpu like suggested :)

Those Samsung chips the same/similar to the Samsung Wonder? I'd try overclocking the ram and see what comes of it.

I thought about that, but I don't think they're the same ones, which is why I recommended the change.
