Hey guys!

So I just got a 280X 6GB card as an early Christmas present, and was wondering what I should upgrade next. 

 

My current settup: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fVtKGX

 

The cooler, extra fans, and PSU were birthday upgrades back in March.

 

I was thinking CPU, but then I'd have to get a new mobo too :(  

 

Thoughts?

I could be very wrong

Case honestly, maybe look at the H440 , Define R5, or the BeQuiet! Silent Base 800

CPU: R5 5800X3D Motherboard - MSI X570 Gaming Plus RAM - 32GB Corsair DDR4 GPU - XFX 7900 XTX 4GB Case - NZXT H5 Flow (White) Storage - 2X 4TB Samsung 990 Pro PSU - Corsair RM100E Cooling - Corsair H100i Elite Capellix Keyboard Corsair K70 (Brown Switches)  Mouse - Corsair Nightsword RGB

Yeah, this thing kinda sucks. 

 

An Athlon X4 860k?

Thats FM2+, I have an FM2 board. So the 760k is my best bet, without moving platforms, but thats basically what I have.

I could be very wrong

Another upgrade over the case you currently have without going over $100 would be the Fractal Design Define R4 its going for $79.99 for the black pearl one with window vs all the other Fractal cases are over $100 right now.

My mobo is mATX, so I'd probably get that cube case they make.

I could be very wrong

I would go FX8350/ 990fx or 4690k/ Z97. So you stop bottlenecking that card.

Peripherals: Logitech G19 and SteelSeries Sensei RAW

Toshiba L50-A: i7 4700mq, 8gb, 1TB HDD, GT 740M 2gb
