Need help upgrading my current build.

So I have around 225$ to spend and I want to upgrade my build. I am pretty happy with my core components, I have good peripherals and don't want to upgrade my GPU until this fall. So I thought I would get a better case because my current one has very little cable management. So I was thinking of getting the black Corsair C70, and then custom sleeving my PSU.

 

But what would you guys get? I am open to any type of suggestions! They don't have to be just my pc upgrade maybe just cool tech stuff.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Tech

Ye I really like the look and its size. But that is the only con that I saw.

It feels as though no games ever leave the BETA stage anymore, until about 3 years after it officially releases. - Shd0w2 2014

Before dreamhack summer I'm going to swap the window to a clear acrylic, you can do the same, or you can get someone to do it for you. Mnpctech.com has something like that.
