I want to upgrade my gaming PC to play games like Battlefield 4, Need for Speed Rivals, and the upcoming The Crew and Assasins Creed Unity.

Here is what I got right now:

MOBO: Gigabyte 970A-D3
OS: Windows 8.1 64 Bits
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5 Ghz w/Stock fan
GPU: GTX 760 EVGA 2GB
RAM: KINGSTON HyperX Blu 4GB
PSU: CORSAIR CX500M
CASE: THERMALTAKE V3 Black Edition
HDD: Seagate ST500DM002-1BD142 ATA
DISPLAY: SAMSUNG S19C150 1366X768

I want to know what parts I need to upgrade and if some might be bottlenecking.

Actually it looks fine on a budget. If you have the money I'd go with the i5 4590 or something similar, it'll give you amazing performance compared to the 6300. Also, maybe think about changing the PSU to an XFX or EVGA or something.

Also, (again if you have the money) I'd go with 8gb of RAM.

Is there a cooler that you recommend for overclocking ?
