PC upgrading advice

[Freio]

Hey! This is my first post here, so im gonna do the best i can

 

I got my brother's computer that he bought a while back, and im thinking of taking it apart, upgrading and manage the cables a bit to tidy it up.
I want tips on which components i should focus on switching and upgrading first, and what products are good in the different categories, i would strongly appreciate any suggestions and tips!

 

Full list of components:

 

Cabinet

CM Storm Stryker Gaming Big Tower

 

Storage Units

Kingston SSDNow V300 240GB 2.5" OEM

Seagate Desktop 2TB 3.5" SSHD

 

Other Components

Motherboard: ASUS B85M-G, Socket-1150

RAM: HyperX Savage DDR3 2400MHz 16GB

Graphics Card: MSI GeForce GTX 750Ti Gaming 2GB PhysX

Processor: Intel Core i7-4790, Socket-LGA1150

Cooling (air): Stock Intel Fan

Power Supply: Corsair CX 500M, 500W PSU   

 

Right now i have 420 usd to spend on components, but i am saving for components like graphics card.

Thank you in advance!

I would upgrade the GPU first because that's going to make the most difference. How much would you want to spend?

A GPU upgrade would give you a noticable difference in games, rest of it is fine though imo.

That looks like a pretty good rig to me, but I would definitely upgrade you graphics card if you want to do any halfway decent gaming.

I was just going to suggest that. Also, if you are using the stock CPU cooler you might want to pick up a Hyper 212.

A friend of mine suggested on getting a stryx of the same quality, which would fit the best?

Strix is good too. They both have great coolers so just pick the one you like best. I am going to link the strix as well just to make it easier for you.

If you are asking what would physicaly fit, then it does not matter as either will fit. Otherwise, it is just personal preference.
