I recently got hold of 125 dollars and I would like to upgrade my pc but I don't wanna spend all of it heres my specs

i5-650

Zotac H55-ITX WIFI

Cx-600

Radeon ghz edition 1gb 7770 HD

silverstone sg05

Ripjaws 4gb

coolermaster hyper evo 212

OcZ ssd 120gb

1tb caviar black western digital

I was thinking new heatsink because its blocking my port for the gpu and it cant fit Or a new case because all the stuff is sticking out of the case except for the motherboard and I', not upgrading ram because of ddr4 so I'll wait till ddr4 is cheaper and haswell e i5's come out to upgrade those.

What is lacking performance in your system? What do you try to do that you wish it was a bit better at?

If you are going for gaming performance you are going for $125 isn't going to get you any upgrades with your GPU. Your CPU is older so an upgrade there might help you, but your selection will be limited.

A memory upgrade should help for a variety of things, don't go waiting for Haswell-E i5's to release, they never will, thats not what Haswell-E is for. Intel won't be releasing CPUs for the mainstream that need DDR4 until Skylake at the earliest, so snagging another 4GB set on the cheap now would be a good decision.
