Hello, I have a nice build currently that I love in all that it can do as it has fulfilled every task that I have put upon my pc. 

 CPU: AMD FX-6350

 mobo: m5a-(other numbers bc I forgot what the rest and I don't have the name or box anywhere near me lol)

(no cpu cooling)

GPU: ASUS GTX 1060 3GB version

Now to begin with my question. My pc is quite loud as it is. While it's not much of an issue really but I care about sound quality as I enjoy streaming from time to time. I considered simply just getting a simple water cooling and mounting that on but, I took the time to stop and realize that there is the possibility it might not be the best of idea when most would say I need a CPU upgrade. As I do understand this, I don't see the reason to do this when it fulfills anything I like. And all I really want is for my CPU to handle loads better and longer. 

 Now for anyone's personal opinion: 

 Get the water cooling kit

or

 Wait to upgrade everything at once. Say upgrade to Ryzen 5 or 7

You can get an AIO right now, since the mounting bracket for AM3+ should also work on AM4 (depending on AIO, that is)
