Upgrade Advice for my Digital Storm ODE Level 3

Hi Everyone. I have a 6 year old Digital Storm ODE Level 3 Desktop purchased back in Nov 2011. It's still super fast and faster than any other desktop or laptop I've ever used. I still love it. However I'd like to upgrade it a bit with a budget of roughly $500 to spend. I'm already needing to upgrade my 120GB SSD to 256GB because I'm out of space. I'll probably throw WIN10 on there. What component upgrades should I prioritize? How should I spend my $500 (not including a new SSD).

Here's my system:

Processor: Intel Core i7 2600K 3.40GHz (Unlocked CPU for Extreme Overclocking) (Quad Core)
Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth P67 (Intel P67 Chipset) (New & Improved B3 Revision Without SATA 3G Issue)

Hard Drive Set 2: Multimedia\Data: 1x (1TB Hitachi/Seagate (7200 RPM) (32MB Cache)
Optical Drive 1: DVD-R/RW/CD-R/RW (DVD Writer 24x / CD-Writer 48x)
Internet Access: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections)
Video Card(s): 2x SLI Dual (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 1.2GB (Includes PhysX Technology)

Glad to hear it still rocking and with a 1070
you should be in a total state of joy again.

Frag the Weak, Hurdle the Dead.

actually, i'd up the ram to 16GB with the graphics upgrade mentioned already by bprat.  is your oc proc still holding well?  it could be a bottleneck at 1080p for that gtx 1070 in cpu intensive games.  however, if it's oc'd to 4GHz or better you should be fine with the upgrade.  the higher the resolution the more it shifts performance to the gpu. 

i'd also recommend you try your hand at a 1440p monitor with the graphics upgrade.  if you would rather stay at 1080p then i'd recommend the 1060 for graphics upgrade.
