$200 (USD) budget (+/- 10%), for an upgrade

[B00kWyrm]

What would you do, and why?
Here is the existing system...

• Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional (x64) Build 7601
• Service Pack: Service Pack 1
• 
  
• Processor : Intel Core i5-3570K (Not overclocked, stock cooler)
  
• 
  
• Motherboard : GIGABYTE Z77X-UD5H
• BIOS : American Megatrends Inc. Version F5
• 
  
• PSU: Corsair AX750
• 
  
• Memory Devices: Crucial Ballistix Sport
• 8192 MB PC3-12800 DDR3 SDRAM (x2)
• Current Timing: 9.0-9-9-24
• 
  
• Video Adapter : Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000
  
• 
  
• Storage Devices: C: Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB - (recent upgrade from a smaller 830)
  
• D: Western Digital Green 2TB WD20EARX
• Removable: Lite-On iHES212 12x Internal Blu-ray Combo

Yes, I overbuilt... I know.
I am satisfied with my monitor setup. (I like to work with a dual monitor setup).
I am considering now upgrading the graphix adapter from the integrated Intel...
But... wondering what anyone else would consider, and why.
Thanks.

If you have a desire to display more demanding graphics, then I would recommend a graphics card, but it seems you have a well balanced powerful system which is working properly. Why mess with success?

If this describes where you are, I would tuck the money away against future needs. Stuff breaks.

Alternatively, I might consider the upgrade to Windows 10 and have the cash in reserve if some need arises.

Lastly, I might invest in a strong backup system, perhaps 3 128GB flash drives which I could rotate (grandfather, father, son).
