Hi guys, I'm gonna upgrade my whole cpu and i want to get your opinion on this.

This is my current setup for now:
mobo- ecs g41t-M v2.0 (socket 775)
proc - intel core2duo e7500
ram - 2x2gb ddr2 kingston
gpu - geforce 9600gt
psu - generic 550w


This will be my new rig:
mobo - lga1150 Gigabyte Z87M D3H
proc - lga1150: Intel Core i5 4570 3.2-3.6 Ghz (Quad Core) Haswell
ram - G.Skill RipJaws X (Dual) 2x2gb ddr3 1600 CL9 (F3 12800CL9D 4GBXL)
videocard - inno3d gtx 760 2gb herculez 3000
psu - Aerocool (Strike X) 600watts 80Plus Bronze Modular
cpucooler - Deep Cool Ice Blade Pro V2.0 ( I dont know if i need this its optional, but i want to get your opinion also on this)
case - Raidmax Cobra


If you have any suggestions and opinion on parts that is needed to change please let me

Additional Info:
Im planning to buy first the video card and psu and ill try to mount it on my old cpu will it work? Will it give me a decent graphics even if my cpu is bottleneck?

For the rest of the parts of my cpu I'm aiming to buy it maybe on december.


Thank you in advance..

With an i5 and a GTX 760, your system won't bottleneck so you'll be fine with what you want. :)

You might want to get 2x4 GB Ram instead of just 4 GB although 4 GB is enough. 8 GB would be better for the future and later you can upgrade to 16 GB, which is not needed for gaming at this time.

no you do not need a CPU cooler unless you get a CPU that runs hot and that is not very common but if you were to get one just in case i would recommend the hyper 212 its the best heat sink for the money
