So I want to upgrade my graphics card & CPU cooler.

Specs:

AMD FX 6300
GTX 650
8 GB RAM
MOBO: GIGABYTE 78LMT-UB3
530 watts psu
CASE: COOLERMASTER ELITE

So I want to upgrade my graphics card if that is possible (BUDGET: 150 gbp)
& I would like to get a better cpu cooler (Budget: 30? gpb)

(I upgraded from the regular AMD stock cooler to Zalman CNPS5X Performa CPU Fan. That kept my processor cool (30 degrees max) but it is very loud, I tried to control the fan speed but apparently my motherboard doesn't allow to do that.)

Thanks +repp for any useful help

Yes the Gpu is compatible, the cpu cooler is quite loud but im sure you can turn the speed down slitley in the bios and people have said that it hardly effects the temperature!

Its quite loud (I have one) if you want something quiet but effective you will need to pay more.

If you can stretch your budget by 2 pounds I'd recommend this one [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Its a quiet, as the name suggests and its good

Different peoples usage of the cooler will vary the results.

My Hyper was silent when i owned one.

Which make/model is the PSU?

It should be okay, BeQuiet make some good power supplies depending on the model.

Are you getting the cooler so you can overclock the system or do you just want it cooler/quieter?
