Hello, I was wondering what ideas and opinions yourselves may have in relation to some upgrades that I will probably be conducting over years as opposed to months, to give me a good solid performing gaming PC. My current build is:

 

Corsair 200r (no window)

Corsair CX600M

MSI Z87-G43

Intel i5-4670k 3.4ghz (not overclocked)

Evo 212 with stock fan

Geforce GTX Windforce 760

2x4gb Corsair vengeance RAM

WD black 750GB

I have the stock intake and exhaust fan

 

 

My plans are as follows in order on what I want to do, as mentioned above I plan to do this over a longer period of time so I want the build to compliment itself as it develops. I also have not decided on exact models I want:

 

Swap graphics card for a GTX 970 (unsure on the brand) and overclock is slightly

Get a 2 fan all in one cooler for the i5-4670K and overclock it as best I can

Get an SSD, put OS and other bits and pieces on it

Get a case with a window excellent air flow

Get additional fans (if needed) for the front of the case, to maximum air intake

Overclock first graphics card as far as possible

Get a higher output power supply (good efficiency)

Get a second GTX 970 of the same brand as the first as SLI them, over clock the second onethe same as the first

Get another 8gb of RAM making 16gb

 

Last and only if I really can't get anything else, get another motherboard that is more 'gaming related'

 

 

For additional information I play games such as GTA 5 and Battlefield.

 

Thank you for taking the time to read and any comments and ideas are appreciated!
