My current Pc specs are:
i5 4670k (Gelid Tranquillo cooler, standard clock)
MSI h91m-e33 mobo (because its was cheap)
8gb ddr3 Corsair 666mhz 9.0 clock latency RAM
XFX 6970 2gb GPU (with arctic accelero hybrid cooler)
Corsair 540 air cube case
I have around £200 to spend upgrading this. I have been doing this bit by bit over time and have got to a point where I am looking at the motherboard and overclocking. But I still think I could do with better ram as mine is pretty poor as you can see.
The options I can see are clearly up0grading to a z87 mobo as this is a great priced, high spec set. I have seen a few like this

which also includes a water cooler for my cpu. which would certainly help with OC'ing my 4670k. but this would use up most of my budget, leaving pretty much no money for ram. Alternatively, I could go for this snyper on offer

using my current Gelid cooler, and then upgrade my RAM to something like

but maybe shop around for a more suitable colour
Any help would be great, thanks in advance
