for i5-4690k

[MaestroCat]

Hi, I'm currently trying to upgrade parts from my pc to overclock my i5-4690k. I wanna know what you guys think. from the same price range.(if you have any other idea for the parts) ($500)

(already had gtx 1080, cpu, ssd, peripherals and case)

This is my current build. running on intel stock cooler.

Don't get the Supernova NEX. There are lots of better options for the same price.

Instead of getting a Z97 board and an AiO to overclock your i5, get a 4790(K) or 4770(K) and sell the 4690K. It's much more worth it.

If OP wants to go this route I'd say its worth it just saving for a new build or new platform tbh. The gaming gains of a I7 from an I5 is pretty small (coming from someone with an i7).

I'd reccomend either a Corsair RM550X or a EVGA 550 G2, both fantastic and suitable for your build.

If you want to spend less, the EVGA B series or corsair CXM (2015 version, one with the gray label) are both great choices too. There are other options, but Corsair and EVGA on the hole make the best PSUs.

Thr ones that cost about the same, or less are the Corsair CXM (really a budget option), Rosewill Capstone, BitFenix Whisper M, Corsair TXM, Seasonic Focus Plus Gold and EVGA G2/G3. Those were from PCPP in order by ascending pricing. Or pick any tier 1-2 PSU from the list.
