    Not possible. You need a Z97 board to overclock it.

    jeffreyd182 got a reaction from mineblaster in is it worth upgrading?   
    I'd go on ebay to try to find a used LGA 1155 CPU. You can find i5s and i7s for some good prices there. Unless you want to get a newer generation of processors, of course. Your current amount of RAM is fine, but of course adding more never really hurts. As for your GPU, it's not awful, but thats depending on what kind of games you want to play. I suggest searching your GPU on YouTube to find benchmarks on various games so you can get an idea of performance.

    Not much to really complain about. Everything seems good except for the PSU, which I would change to a EVGA G2 650W instead. I'd also personally save some money and grab a Sapphire R9 390 and a beQuiet! Pure Rock cooler instead.
