I have just invested in a Gaming pc to use for 3DS MAX and I want to know what else I could add:D

I currently have -
AMD Trinity A8-5600K 4.0GHz Quad Core APU
16GB of 1333Mhz DDR3 RAM
1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 HDD
AMD Radeon HD7560D + HD6670 graphics cards
High performance FM2 motherboard
Running windows 7:good:

Please notify me where I should go next, this is for animation and part time gaming.
 
Got a decent soundcard or is the one on the motherboard OK?

Otherwise, you shouldn't be looking to add more stuff to this monster.
 
Get an AM3+ board and an FX-8320 with aftermarket cooling so you can overclock that 8320. That'd be my suggestion for an upgrade.

Might also want a more powerful GPU setup. A single 7850 or 7870 would be nice.

Faster RAM would be good too but I'd look at your graphics card, CPU and board first, especially if this is for 3DS Max.

What power supply do you have?
 
Well I'd advise you get a better PSU - Corsair CX 500 or CX 600 and maybe think about getting a better graphics card. 7770 or 7850 would be ideal.

Then maybe consider an FX-6300 or 8320 and an AM3+ board for the future to replace your 5600K and FM2 board.
 
For what you have now. Get a better power supply. Get a better video card. Get a aftermarket cooler and overclock. You got alot of memory, but I would have gone with 1866 or 2133.
