Advice for upgraded needed.

[Jamie370]

Hey guys,

I just built my first rig ever and i need your help!(It is for gaming)

I need to get a cheap yet good-ish GPU and hopefully a CPU water-cooling.

My rig:

CPU: i5 4690k (Clocked at 3.5 Ghz)

Motherboard: Ga-H97M-D3H (Gigabyte)

RAM: Corsair Vengeance PRO 16 GB 1333 Mhz (2 x 8 gb)

PSU: Antec Vp-500W

HDD: WD BLUE 1 TB(7.2k RPM)

SSD: Samsung 750 EVO 120 GB

Tplink 300 MPBS wireless adapter (PCI-E)
Case: CoolerMaster K380

 

My Budget is $165 USD

(I live in South Africa)

Thank you!

Rx470 or a 480 is prob best option if you can manage.

No point in getting a liquid cooler unless your current rig is struggling to keep the cpu within its temperature envelope. You might consider adding a rear and/or top case fan. This will improve airflow through the case which will help the existing cpu cooler.
