$100 pc upgrade

[TheEpicCanadian]

Ok so over the long weekend I did a few small jobs and made $100. Seeing that I don't make a lot of money very often (15 with no job) I would like to spend the money now.

 

My current build is as follows:

Case: Corsair 400r

CPU: Intel i5 3570k @ 4.2Ghz

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

MOBO: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H

GPU: Asus DCU2 7850 2GB

RAM: Corsair vengance low profile 8gb (4gbx2)

HDD: 1tb Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm, 1tb WD Green

PSU: Rosewill Green 630w

 

1. Budget & Location
$100-$120 Canadian

2. Aim
Gaming and Video production (Youtube: gameplay/commentary) 

3. Monitors
2x 23" 1920x1080p not eyefinity

4. Peripherals
I have a set of Razer Peripherals, Deathadder, Backwidow ultimate, Goliathus.

Possible speaker upgrade, Currently using 5 year old crappy $30 basic speakers

5. Why are you upgrading?
I have some extra money

 

Okay so, I have a few ideas on what I want to buy but if you have any other suggestions please suggest them!

 

Idea 1: 

3x Gelid wing Fans for the inner chassis

2x Bitfenix Spectre Pro Blue LED for front bezel.

1x Bitfenix Alchemy blue led strip on the inside.

I mainly want this for looks more than performance. My setup is a blue/black theme and I think these would look really nice on the inside. 

 

Idea 2:

SSD upgrade for OS and some games.. I am not sure which SSD to get, was thinking about the Samsung 840.

 

Idea 3: 

Liquid Cooling CPU with Corsair H60 and 2x Gelid wing fans to go with it.

 

Once again, suggestions welcome! :D

Samsung 840, cheap and good enough!

+1 SSD is an obvious choice, Samsung 840 is a great option.

If you are serious about doing commentaries, you are going to need a decent mic. Nobody will watch a youtube channel with crappy audio. SSD would be a lovely upgrade but it's a luxury, not a necessity. If you are a long way off doing youtube and you want to live in the now, get an SSD. It won't do that much for games but it will make you fall in love with your PC. I have an Samsung 840 and I love it. It's a great feeling when things happen when you tell them to happen.  :)

For looks, Liquid cooling is indeed very important. It makes PC beautiful, plus better temps.

I have a Turtle Beach px3 Headset that has a pretty good microphone.

Apologies if this is a really stupid question, but how do I move my OS over?

You migrate the data from your current hdd to the ssd. The freeware of this should help: http://www.disk-partition.com/download-home.html

Windows Password Recovery Can help you reset forgotten Windows password, you can enter Windows directly without entering any password with the Windows password recovery tool. So it is the best way to reset your lost Windows password.
