Hi people. I wanted to ask what part should I upgrade for my current build? I recently made a Haswell build for gaming and some overclocking. I have some extra expendable money for my computer. My goal is to try to overclock my CPU to 4.4GHz. I cannot currently do this due to my current load temperatures being at a max of 93C when I attempt to overclock on 4.2GHz. Another goal of mine is to game with maxed out settings on a 47Inch LG 1080p 60Hrz TV. I have 250$ to spend. But if it matters I can save that money for a part if necessary.

My current blacklist build:

CPU: Intel i5-4670K
Computer Case: ZALMAN Z12 (Not the plus model)
Motherboard: MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming Edition
Cooler: Enermax ETS-T40-BK
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series (2x4GB) 1866Hrz
GPU: MSI GTX 760 2GB Twin Frozer
Power Supply: Corsair RM Series 850Watt
SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 128GB
Hard Drive: Western Digital WD AV-GP WD10EURX 1TB
 
Solution
the GTX 760 should max out all those games but if it doesn't cu it you could go with a radeon R9-280X for 300$. as for your cooling problem, you could look for a noctua NH D14 to solve the cooling problem. but its quite expensive (around 80$) and quite heavy.

I do like the Noctua NH D14, but I want a cooler that has PWM fans. Yes I can max out ll my games with gaming mode on the GTX 760 right now (sorry, didn't come to mind when typing it up).
