Welcome to world of 3D printing!!
I am fairly new myself so I definitely know how tempting it is to start upgrading everything and anything. I will say that the CTC is a pretty capable printer out of the box. It definitely has some room for improvement, but I haven't had to do any major surgery yet to get very impressive prints. I have tried the metal pulley gears and I honestly cannot tell the difference. Many people say it fixed the problem with them not being able to print round circles, but I never had this problem. To be honest, my biggest upgrade was printing the sprint loaded block from Thingiverse. It made printing with Flexible filament (which I do a lot of) so much easier.
My suggestion is to play with your printer for a bit. Get to know the stock version and allow yourself to get familiar with it. Then decide if you want to upgrade the hardware.
Always keep it fun.
