Hey guys, christmas is coming up aswell as I received some extra money to spend on some upgrades. I've upgraded my PC a fair bit from when I first got it. Looking to spend around 600$. Looking to get a new CPU, possible liquid cooling for GPU+CPU, SSD, or a new MOBO (if possible). Budget is 600$

 

Current Specs: 

AMD 6100+stock cooler (yes I know)

GTX 780

8GB ram

1TB HD

750w PSU

asus m59a7 MOBO

corsair 300r

 

so far I was thinking:

9590 w/ AMD liquid cooling (400)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113351

+2 128 SSD (200)

 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147185

 

or

9590 + third party cooler (400)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113347

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103196&Tpk=glacer%20240l

+ 2 128 GB SSD(200)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147185

or

4770k w/ stock heatsink+new mobo (400)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116901

(not sure which LGA MOBO)

+

liquid cooling (100)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103196&Tpk=glacer%20240l

+1 128GB SSD

or

new CPU

+custom watercooling

 

please let me know which one I should get, or if I should spend it on something different. thanks in advanced

Just overclock the 6100 to 4.5GHz+, with a water cooler. Use the extra money to buy an SSD.

 

Just an fyi, your board wouldn't really support anything more than an FX 6350.

SSD, AIO water cooler and a better case.

Any recommendations on the cooler+case?

What's the system being used for?

There's little reason paying $400 for the 9590.

Are you only shopping from newegg or are you open to other US shops?

open to others, just using newegg as a reference point.

It'll work but whether or not you should get a new mobo depends on what you currently have. Full name of your mobo please.

This is a good build. If you can afford a new motherboard and a i7 4770k I would get but if you can't this is a good uprade

Cooler as above. Case maybe the overused but really good define r4.

Why spend so much on a cooler?

Why 2 ssd's?
