upgrade PC Upgrade CPU+Cooling OR GPU Water Cooling

[ProphetsHonor]

My Current build:

CPU: AMD FX-6300 - stock cooler atm...               
GPU: AMD R9 390X -runs hoter then he//
RAM: HyperX Fury DDR3 1600 C10 2x8GB              
MBD: MSI 970 GAMING (MS-7693)

 

I can either upgrade my CPU to a AMD FX-8370, and a Corsair H90 for adequate cooling ($260) or.....

I can liquid cool my MSI R9 390X using a NZXT Kraken G10 bracket, a copper 10mm GPU shim, and the Corsair H90 ($180) or.....

I could go the middle ground and get the NZXT bracket, the copper GPU shim and 2 Corsair H90's and just keep my current FX-6300. ($280)

 

My MSI R9 390X Tends to get stupidly hot after only an hour and a bit of playing AAA titles, and on the other hand my AMD FX-6300 tends can bottleneck my GPU in CPU intensive games like The Whitcher 3, GTA V, Rise Of The Tomb Raider ETC ETC. I eventually want to upgrade all of this but ATM i can only afford to do 1 of the 3 and would like some opinions on the matter, and other possible solutions are more then welcome! And Yes i made sure the NZXT G10 Bracket is compatible with my R9 390X it says on the main website that its compatible as long as you use a copper shim.

Honestly, I would just look at a platform upgrade. Even the 8370 is fairly weak for gaming, so buying it would be investing more into a dead platform.

Platform upgrade is a correct choice. 

 

Maybe somehow you'll even be able to snag a deal on some older architecture gpus.
