Just bought a new K40 machine

Hello new friends!
I just purchased one of the small blue/white 40 Watt engravers on eBay last night and should take delivery within the next week or so. I'd like to immediately proceed to upgrading the machine, and had a couple of questions on parts...I know for under $290 I'm really just buying a case and so-so tube.
Beyond the DSP and stepper motor drivers, can anyone recommend additional parts? Are there better stepper motors, guide wheels, mirrors and optical mounts, z-axis tables that you've added to your machines or are some of the parts that ship with the unit good enough to start with?
Was thinking about the X7 DSP upgrade kit, so just wanted to know what other parts I should throw in the shopping cart while I'm at it.
Thanks!
Phil
