Current build:
6300
R9 270x vapor-x
G.Skill ripjaws x 2x4GB
M5A97 LE R2.O
128GB SSD
1TB HDD
You'll die hearing this probably haha but i have a CIT 600w psu which yes i know i should get like an XFX 550w but i built this for Christmas and it was the easiest option as it came with the case and kept the cost down enough for an SSD
So my question is what do you think i should upgrade as ill be getting some money for my birthday next month and i'd wanna spend a max of 100GBP on upgrades if needs be. So what do you guys thinik i should upgrade?
i was thinking i should just get a good CPU cooler as i might overclock at some point (Will my motherboard support it?)and a new PSU, what ones would you guys recommend?
I dont know if it matters much but i need to have at least 3 sata power connectors and also i have 3 fans in the case that all run on molar connections and would like these to all run also so what would you guys suggest:D

M5A97 LE R2.O Is a terrible board for overclocking, I would personally buy a nice PSU first because the one you have now is a ticking time bomb, and then a buy a new motherboard and CPU fan.
I would highly recommend this motherboard and a Cooler Master 212 EVO
The motherboard and CPU fan is a little over budget,

The TX3 isn't the Evo.

I'd be tempted to pay just a little more for a better cooler, though.

This board will do everything you need. Good for decent overclocking that these coolers will allow and use with one graphics card. If you want SLI or Crossfire, you want a 990X or FX board, not 970.

ImNyfanwy wrote yeah i dont need to upgrade the mobo for a while, the only major upgrades i would do is in a few years get intel i5 and a new motherboard of course.
i'll probably go for the thermalright fan and should i get this PSU?

You can get the same PSU for cheaper: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
