A nice metal hop up (with good bucking and maybe spacer), a good tight bore, and a good spring-battery-motor combination is the best upgrade you can make.
You might wanna try buying a whole new aeg that's better than the every day china rebrand, and using what you have now as a back up if your primary isn't ready at the moment. I have the Echo1 Stag 15 and it has everything you'd want in a gun (maybe a new inner barrel, and a 9.6, and it's all you could hope for.) Mines been down for a while now because i got bad wiring, but the metal body, reinforced gearbox, a great hop up w/ madbull bucking STOCK, you cant complain.
Seems like everyone wants a sniper, and they're good at what they do, and fun, but an upgraded aeg can be wayyy more effective.
The most important thing i have to say is you get what you pay for. Depending on what you want out of airsoft, your budget will be different, but it's worth it getting all that you dream about.
EDIT: Oh sorry, i just realized that Dboys is metal. Looks pretty good. Throw in good bucking and a tightbore and it looks solid. That's a good lookin gun.
To be honest, I don't believe the outside body being metal or plastic have anything to do with the gun's performance other than the fact that I might sit on it with my fat Asian ass. For $150, my gun was the best bang for the buck, no pun intended.
Ryuken and I took apart my gun today, and we found that it's actually better built than what most people give it credit for- being a Dboys and all. The bushings were metal, the spring guide had its own bearings, the stock bucking seems to be no different than the one I just purchased... To be honest, I think my gun will be done after this for a long time (Granted, I spent 100 bucks, so it better be damn done).
I don't see anything else that may need future upgrades.
