An I5 6600k at 5Ghz how high is your voltage?

New mouse and keyboard for sure.

Mionix NAOS 7200 or Steelseries Rival 300 are my personal favorites and for the keyboard Ducky and WASD are good. If you go with an open box WASD CODE from WASD, you could probably squeeze in 8GBs of RAM

I'd upgrade the RAM to 16 GB, like other said, and for the rest, you could buy yourself some games or whatever.

Hey, what do you think about the Corsair K70? I thought it looked pretty awesome and I like the feel of it,

Not bad, I personally prefer the simplicity of the Ducky Shine 5 and WASD CODE more along with the keycaps are better Imo but the K70 is good. Especially if you go to Corsairs refurbished section and see if they've got the K70 you want for a nice discount.

Awesome. Thanks for the help!

I'd get new peripherals. The KM780 is a solid choice for keyboard.

That, or perhaps a monitor upgrade.

Your CPU can, your motherboard can not.

[pradhyumn rathod]

I used to have a k70 with cherry mx red switches and i loved it.  Have you looked into a NVMe drive?  Prices have gone up a tad since the holidays, but they're still worth it.

NVMe isn't really worth it for most people.
