No reason to get a liquid cooler, the stock cooler will be sufficient.

 

Look for the same hardware, but used. Compare all the prices and find out which ones are cheaper new and which ones are cheaper used. You might be able to have some leftover cash for Steam games or whatever

Quote or tag me( @Crunchy Dragon) if you want me to see your reply

New graphics card. Get a nice 980 for that. Maybe Ti.

New gpu for sure.It'll freshen up your pc. 

Any suggestions? I feel like I should buy a new PSU as well if I do this...

1060 3GB sits at about £220, you're probably better off looking for a used 980

I've found it in CEX for £180 lmao

If they do sell them in more than just the reference cooler, I might go for it

Used high end video card like a 980 or 1060 6GB. Used hardware can be gems because snobs think a 980 is 'peasant hardware'. Little do they know it's still a solid 1080p card!!

No one likes fanboys.

1. I have had a bad experience with used video cards

2. The 1060 6GB just falls out of my budget

Well, to be honest, I don't use my PC for anything intensive at the moment. Watching videos, school work, that sort of stuff
