If you don't know what to buy, you probably don't need anything. Don't you have a wife/child/mother/charity on which to spend money?

Save it away for race fees and consumables (tires, tubes, chains, etc.)

I'd save up more and buy a completely new bike. Initially I'd suggest a better group than the 105, such as Ultegra, but for the cost you'd get more bang for the buck by buying a new bike.
If you are sticking with the same bike, I'd go with above said group or new set of wheels.

+1 I spent $680 on my used PT SL with two harnesses. It's really helping me to zero in on my limiters. Much better for performance than anything else I could bolt to the bike (other than an SRM?)
Edina has PT Pros for ~$700, but you have to get a hoop and spokes to build it up. Used is a much cheaper way to go. Keep an eye on slowtwitch, and maybe http://www.txbra.org classifieds. From there, I have a friend who just scored a PT SL Bontrager for $750 with two computers and two harnesses (one computer would ebay for $175 pretty easily, but he's keeping both).
