Depends on your disposable income, what kind of framerate/rendering quality/resolution you're shooting for, and if you're unhappy with what you're currently experiencing. Personally, those specs would suffice for me no problem. My PC is comparable to yours and I can run everything to my satisfaction.
I will not upgrade my PC for the next 3 years or so, simply because I'll spend most of my gaming time/money budget on my next generation console of choice - likely a PS4. The only reason to upgrade the PC is for gaming. Why would I upgrade now, when I'll anyways invest in new console hardware, which will satisfy my high end gaming needs for a good long while? It'll take at least 3-4 generations of software before the PC will offer a significant enough lead in multiplatform titles, and the few games that are exclusive to the PC will no longer play well enough with my current setup.
If some compontent shits a brick however, I will upgrade whatever failed. But really, usually I upgrade to a whole new build, rather than go for incremental upgrades, and right now, I don't think it's a good time to do so. If money is an issue at all, I'd wait 'til after we see what the next generation is capable of, and how much more demanding games become.
