What to upgrade? PP2015 & Red Giant & DNG

ok, simple specs: 

hardware: core i5 3570k oc'd 4.1ghz, 4tb raid 10 (software), radeon 7850, 8gb ram, 480gb ssd system drive, windows 10.  shooting magic latern almost-hd raw on 5dmkii. 

software: use davinci dng import , flattening , proxy export, work done in pp2015 built-ins , red giant master suite.  reconnect master files final touch up, export web & blu-ray.

 

render times aren't too bad - 15ish minutes clean 1 minute of noisy footage using red giant denoiser ii when linked dng.  gpu accelerations possible turned on everywhere.  exports aren't bad either on time, usuallly 2-3x real time.

 

coming money - save bit , spend bit on upgrade.  looking @ above system , workflow, would biggest improvement.  hardly ever use after effects or speed grade - try as possible in pp.  know 16gb ram wouldn't hurt.  , know i7 nice - makes no sense buy 3770k, buy new gen, means replacing mb, means windows headaches, etc.

 

feel free tell me i'm not thinking of.
