Need Advice With Upgrade

[Neno]

Hey, this is my first post and I need some advice for an upgrade that I plan to do. My computer right now is quite old and I wish to

upgrade so I can play new modern games without the issues of lag and such. My plan was to buy a Corsair Hydro Series h60 so I can overclock my 

Cpu to @4.0 Ghz, then upgrade my Psu to a Corsair HX 750. Then instead of my current Gpu (Gigabyte gtx 550ti) I was going to get an

Evga gtx 760 Superclocked 2gb, now my only worry is that even if I overlcock my Cpu to @4.0 Ghz will my computer be bottlenecked?

I was wanting to upgrade instead of buying a whole new system, and I was going to get my parts here: http://www.cplonline.com.au/ Since I'm from Australia. 

 

My Computer currently:

 

Cpu: Intel i5 750 @2.67 Ghz

Motherboard: Gigabyte ga-p55-ud3r

Chassis: Cooler Master

Memory: Kingston Hyperx 2x4gb Ddr3 (8gb)

Gpu: Gigabyte gtx 550ti 1gb

Hdd: WD Green 760gb

Psu: 460W

Cpu Cooler: Intel Stock Cooler

Os: Windows 7

 

Thank you for taking your time here, I appreciate it so much!

That green writing is horrible, just use black in future,

You shouldn't get a bottle neck with the cpu at stock speeds if you are going to go a 760, also you wont achieve 4ghz on a H60, 

I would get a 7950 if you can find one and through in a SSD.

what games are you planning on playing? whats you budget?

He states modern games, so i base modern games as bf4 and work off what he needs from that

Given the amount of bugs it is hard to imagine bf4 as a modern game.

Way to jump on my throat. 

 

A game being made in recent years does not necessarily make it "modern". It makes it "new". If I were to make a game with a 10 year old engine, it would not be a modern game.

Haha I won't use green next time! Oh ok, I saw some videos of people using an i5 750 and overclocking it to @4.0 Ghz

but Linus did a tutorial a few years back but only did it up to @3.7 Ghz. And thanks for the suggestion!

Yeah I was planning to buy all at once though, but how is the h60 bad for the money?

I've seen a lot of good builds using a h60 and seeing no issues, and thanks for the help!

I was thinking about that, but should I just use it for my Operating System?

[Neno]

Haha no need to argue here! But yeah games like BattleField 4, Bioshock Infinite, Batman Arkham Origins and

maybe some new games that are coming to us in 2014.

os, drivers, constantly used programs, etc.

If you have the money get stuff in this order:

1. PSU and GPU (7950 if you can find one)

2. SSD

3. Look at a cooler if you feel you need OC, don't get anything under a H80

Something like the 212 Evo is much cheaper and almost just as good while being quieter.

There's no point getting such a large psu. A decent 500w is plenty as is. Even if you sli, a 650w would do.

 

What's your budget?
