I am assuming that bolded word (less) is supposed to be... least.
And, that, you are wondering what would be a good upgrade to hold you for a year, on the system you have; as, this is the last upgrade you plan to do on this system.

If that is it, then I would say, none, if it is doing what you want it to do now.
Save for your next system. Put your funds into that.

Or, if you absolutely must scratch an itch, then... get a monitor, keyboard, mouse, sound device (sound card, speakers, headphones, etc.), or something you want/like and can use it any new system you build/buy.

Just my opinion.:)
