Get a new barrel (lapco bigshot), egrip, double trigger (JCS), drop forward, and an X-chamber.

a barrel is always the first upgrade you should get. then get the egrip.

accuracy then firepower.

I would say get a bigshot or Flatline, then get an egrip.

To get the best accuracy you'll need consistancy before the firepower. So get either HPA or a regulator after the barrel to keep up with the higher rates of fire coming up in your next upgrade.

Barrel (flatline is not always your best choice since it is SOOOOO dependant on proper paint match).

eGrip is great, but I am not a fan of double trigger on an eGrip. Many faults have been reported & you don't really walk a electronic trigger like you do an R/T trigger.

Then look at cheap upgrades like polished internals and a Rear Velocity Adjuster.
A-5: 12" Ceramic, Egrip/WAS/Duel, HPA, MP5 sliding stock
