None really. At most can consider upgrading to a 1070/1080 once the new nvidia cards come out (will be cheap ones flooding the marketplace).

If you want a general overhaul it will cost you a lot more, as you'd need to upgrade motherboard+RAM+GPU and maybe get a M.2 ssd for your boot storage.

Also, make sure to switch your smart TV to Game Mode to reduce input lag.

If you have the money, then do both, but if you are thinking of upgrading slowly, you should change your graphics card first.

Yup. GPU will improve gaming right away, SSD overall boot and load speed.

For GPU, don't get brand new yet. Just wait a bit for the new cards to be out, lots of bargains then.
