Wanting To upgrade my Gaming PC

[Williscraft230]

I have had this computer for about 3 years now and I am looking at upgrading maybe my PC and I am not sure what to get. I was just wondering if people could help with suggesting some components that are both good and that are compatible with the rest of my build. I have a case in mind and that's the new 'Phanteks Eclipse P400' and would like to change to an intel CPU and add an SSD, the intel change isn't necessary though.

 

This is My current PC: - 

Case: http://www.amazon.co.uk/CiT-Tower-Part-Mesh-Gaming-Display/dp/B006FUQ34Q 

Rest of the computer: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/vmQ7cf

 

Budget: Roughly £600

Thanks.

the hyper 212 evo is an entry/mid-range air cooling unit

 

for water cooler AIO unit, i suggest either you get the high end ones, or stick with air cooler

because the high end air cooler will stomp the mid-range watercoolers

and the high end AIO units are just slightly better than the high end air coolers

 

personally i would suggest the H100i GTX or H110i GTX

for high end air cooling, the NH-D15 for the best performance, or the Dark Rock Pro 3 for lower performance but much better looks

it doesnt matter what games you play, is how far you want to push your cpu's clock speed

Thanks for the replies although i feel like i really need to change my case and also add an SSD and that will take quite a bit of money out of the budget already so all of those components you've listed i wont be able to afford, plus i will have to buy a new version of windows because i used the free windows 10 upgrade and didn't buy a copy of it. So i will have to first take money off the budget for the new case, a 120/240gb SSD and a copy of windows 10.

i would never add an SSD if it means skimping on cpu or gpu, its a luxury item and you're better off with a stronger cpu/gpu than being able to start up your pc 10 seconds faster, you can also add one in the future too, gpu/cpu swapping though is costly and often means tossing a part aside to gather dust, i wouldnt recomend that

 

why cant you use the windows license that was upgraded for free? o-o

 

as for case, its a personal thing, but i would fork ou a fortune to buy my favourite case, but not enough to skimp on core components
