A newer 8-core AMD cpu, a CPU cooler for overclocking (or just to keep it cooler), a much better graphics card, and a beefier power supply better for overclocking and future upgrades (as a perk it's semi-modular). If you're not an overclocker, you could probably drop the PSU and CPU Cooler upgrade and put that toward switching to Intel or getting a better graphics card.
