Hey there!
This is actually my first post here on Tom's Hardware, so I'm sorry if I didn't post this at the right place.
Let's begin! Three years ago I decided to build my own computer and I didn't really know what I was doing. In fact, one guy with whom I was working with helped me choose my parts as he was studying technical support and was himself a gamer.
So things went by and we built it. Now, three years later I learned a lot, but a lot of things. Here's my current desktop.

I think it was pretty decent back in the days. The "problem" is that I had no idea about OC and I had a 2600k... Now I'm more aware of it.
Here's the modification I'd like to make to my build.

The HAF 932 is great, but I'd like something smaller, therefore the Corsair 250d. Mobo-wise, I chose a H77 socket because I don't know yet if I'll change for a LGA 1150 mobo and a I5 4670k this year. The GPU isn't that great anymore and I plan to change it when the GTX 8-- series will be out.
Here are my questions ( sorry for the long post )
Should I wait and and buy myself a LGA 1150 mobo and i5 4670k or stand with my I7 2600k, get a z77 mobo and overclock the sh*t out of it?
Also, I don't really know anything about my PSU, actually I had a corsair at the beginning, then it fried. My local supplier had nothing but this Nitro 2. What do you think, should I change it too?
Any tips are well welcomed
