I am upgrading all of my computer on a 600 dollar budget, in that 600 dollar budget i require a new case, and i really want a introduction and some pieces to liquid cooling, Also my main issue is that I need a new motherboard. My motherboard is from the overpriced alienware because I used to have a friend that his dad was high up in inventing the alienware, we are no longer friends and the motherboard does not have USB 3.0 Input. With the remaining money it is to upgrade my specs to make my computer so much better.

Specs

Intel Core i5 2320
Socket---1155 LGA, can this change in the motherboard and still use Intel?
8 gb of Ram- Is this a worthwile upgrade to 16?
Mainboard- Sandybridge Alienware 0KM92T
Nvida GeForce GTX 555-- I think this is a worthwile upgrade to a newer one
Nothing else here needs upgrading except for Liquid Cooling which I would like a guide on how to do, or is it even worth doing?

Main Needs
New Case
New Motherboard
New fan/Liquid cooling system?
Rest goes to upgrading.

You guys can answer any of these questions with what you recommend, or all of them at once?

IT IS FOR GAMING


Im buying all of this on 17-19th

Okay, start with the case, they are pretty much personal preference. Chose that first. I suggest a full tower by CoolerMaster or Corsair.

For a motherboard, the Asus Z77-A should do you good.

As to water cooling - if you are just using it for gaming, generally you wont need it. What games would you be playing?

I'm only new and just trying to help - I'd get a second opinion. :p
