Wait until purchasing a game you can't play.
Check if your memory is running low or your CPU is near 100%.
If neither applies, a new GPU is necessary.
If you're not facing an issue yet but still wish to upgrade, consider an SSD – they are excellent and will fit into a future build.

Thanks for the advice!

Upgrading your motherboard to a Z97 would allow overclocking, just as you might expect.
