So was wondering what would be a good upgrade option for less than £50 (in a few months time) and I've been thinking of some options of what I could do. Here is my build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/8mwgwV (I know I've spent too much for an APU build I was going to buy some of the parts used and save ~£50 but my dad decided to buy it new, doesn't affect me I'm not paying for them?)

 

Option 1: Buy a Hyper 212 Evo and do some over clocks on the chip. I could possibly get 4.2ghz and 1ghz. 

 

Option 2: Buy a used R7 250 to duel graphics the chip.

 

Option 3: SSD (although I don't think this will make much difference as my boot times are ~5 sec total)

 

Option 4: Case fans, I don't think the front fan is doing very much ATM

 

Option 5: Do nothing. Before people say to save up and buy a decent computer (I think this is rather insulting to the person, we can't all afford a £2000+ PC with 2 1080s and an extreme edition i7), it's not that I don't have the money, it's that I don't want to spend it all now and have to money in the future for UNI and stuff.

 

Thanks for the help.
