Anything new that you buy at this point is going to be bottlenecked by everything else in the setup honestly. You wont get your money's worth out of whatever you choose to buy. In my honest opinion I would just save for a new motherboard/cpu/gpu altogether. upgrading one with the other's being so low-grade wont do you much good. I suggest save for a mid-range i5, maybe a gtx 750ti/660/760, and a mid-range compatible motherboard. Your hdd and psu shouldn't be a problem. maybe look at another 8gb stick in the future. |

Thinking of buying this one It would be far better than what you have, yes. But for $750 you can get far better building one yourself. For example: pcpartpicker.com/p/Gr2QnQ |

tuga, buy this, pcpartpicker.com/p/sNcTxryou can reuse your ram, hdd, and psu if you want. just remove it from the list. and i'm also guessing you have an optical drive, can reuse that too.

I've had the 6300. For how much it cost you might as well spend the little bit more to get the 8320. Quite a bit better processor(it also overclocks a hell of a lot better). Performance per dollar, the 770 out classes the 660ti quite a bit. You wouldnt need but one, two extra case fans at the most if it comes with two, which you can get a better case than that anyways. A Lot of wasted money on unnecessary things |

Except not knowing how old your current ram is and what speed it is, i would have to suggest new ones since they arent all that expensive. But the rest yeah, good case i have the big brother of it (500R) and the 4690k is a monster cpu for gaming. best i5 out there for the money, beats 90% of i7's as well. |
