Hello.
I'm planning on upgrading parts of my computer but I'm not sure what component to buy or upgrade next, could someone help me please?

My current specs are:

- i5 4670k @4.4Ghz
- Gigabyte Sniper Z87
- MSI GTX 760 Gaming Edition
- Seagate SSHD 1TB (ST1000DX001)
- 4GB Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz (1 DIMM)
- Corsair H60 2013
- Corsair VS 650W
- Fractal Design Define R4

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure why some here are saying the GPU is the bottleneck? It's a 700 series! New!

I don't believe you have a since bottleneck to be real. But I do recommend you have at least 8gb of ram. 4gb is enough, but later on, it won't. Just to be safe lol :)

To be honest, the GPU is good! But for another 100$ more, you can get a gtx 770. The 770 will beat the 760 and will perform much better! I also don't recommend a water cooler. Get a cooler master hyper evo 212 heatsink! You can still overclock, and it's cheap!

Sir, this is 2014 lol, treat yourself and get a SSD! The samsung evo 128gb will be good :)

Thanks, I thought it was the RAM, I'll get 4 more gb and perhaps an ssd, might get a new GPU later on, or another 760 and SLI.

If you're going to SLI in the future, instead of buying another power supply, get yourself a 750-850 watt PSU. Being on the safe side and saving money.
