Upgrade or buy new

Hi everyone,
Last year I got myself a GT Avalanche 4.0 2012 disc. Wasn't sure if I was going to stick at it so just picked up something cheap, now I'm using the bike 2 or 3 times a week I'm thinking of upgrading the fork and pedals. Before I start spending money on this bike is it worth upgrading? Or should I get rid and purchase a new hardtail? If I was to buy new I would have a budget of around £500.
Any advice would be great.

Is there anything specific you'd like to improve about your bike? Or do you feel you are limited by it? If the list is too long it's usually better to start from the ground up.
£500 buys a very decent used hardtail, but then you could upgrade with used parts and it would cost you less!
