Rather than buying an entirely new bike the plan is to replace items over time.

I am interested upgrading to 1) Lynskey's R230 frame, 2) SRAM Force groupset, and 3) Mavic Ksyrium sl wheelset (or something similar).

Ignoring opportunistic purchasing based on price, which upgrade will have the greatest impact on the quality of the overall ride? I am not a racer, and have no interest in ever racing. I am your average "weekend warrior" who rides ~ 150 miles per week and enjoys a few centuries every summer. (Other upgrades, e.g., seat, seat post, stem, headset, etc. will be done as needed.)

Thanks.
