I need help/advice to what I should upgrade next in my current setup. I was thinking of buying another video card (the same as I have now) and then SLI it. But I don't know what you guys think.. should I do that? Should I upgrade something else? I am looking forward to run new games like BF4, etc...

If what you're planning on upgrading for is a game that doesn't release for another three to four months then you should wait until then. You can always buy the game, evaluate your computer's performance, and then upgrade as necessary.

Is there anything right now that you wish your computer could handle better? There's nothing really wrong with your current computer, but the relative weak link is the video card for 3D games.

Agree, no sense in shooting blind. You buying a GPU is not going to make the game come out any faster. Wait for benchmarks to come out, decide what amount of performance you want/can afford, then buy something.

That's a pretty sweet rig already. Maybe buy a cheap, smaller second monitor so you can have the walkthrough up while playing the game?
