DannyRyu

Which one do you think I should upgrade first? 

(USD/YEN) Numbers are rounded up.

  • New Desk ($60/¥7000 )
  • New CPU
  1. i5-4690K ($270/¥31500 )
  2. Xeon E3-1231V3 ($270/¥33000)
  3. I have an H60 AIO from Corsair and a Gigabyte Gaming 3 Z97 MOBO so I can probably overclock.
  • New Case 
  1. H440 ($130/¥14,997)
  2. S340 ($110/¥12,981)
  3. Air 540 ($170/¥19,440)
  • PSU Extension Cables for pretty looks (Haven't Really done research on price)

So What do you think I should Upgrade first?
