The sky is the limit when it comes to upgrades. As Bleeker St. Girl said, it all depends on what your goals are. If you are planning on racing, well weight is always the big deal. If you want to be comfortable on a nice bike tires are important. I have the continentals on my bike, lighter yes, but that all depends on the rest of your bike. Whats a few grams? They are great tires, not flat proof but very durable and ... pricy. I started with a 2005 roubaix comp and recently did the following upgrades(last 2 years). It's perfect now in my eyes, not cheap though.
2009 Roubaix sl pro frame upgrade
carbon ruby bars
Easton ea90slx wheelset with dura-ace cassette, and continental tires
carbon water bottle cages
and with the last tune-up, dura-ace rear derailleur and the COOLEST lizard skin bar tape.
It's addicting, but I'm done for now!
