I recently got a little bit of $ for babysitting(60$). It's not much but I figure I could get something useful.
My build right now:
i3 4130 @ 3.4 GHz
GTX 750ti 2gb
8gb 1600 RAM
more storage then I need
Corsair CX430
Good keyboard/mouse/speakers
A good msi z97 mobo
A good atx case
A regular optical drive(non bluray)
A crappy 1680x1050 19" monitor

I was wondering if maybe I should get a new psu, or psu, or headphones, or some more RAM, or a bluray drive, a CPU cooler, etc
I'm just really bad at making decisions and just wanna see people's opinions.
Thank you!

Nothing for now, I'd say save the money and wait.

I was thinking that maybe I could get a new PSU because for Christmas I want a GTX 970, and I would need a new PSU for it I think. Maybe the CX600 for $45.

It is recommended on this forum to stay away from Corsair PSUs due to 'low capacitors' but anyways I recommend you buy a 550 watt good PSU by Antec or XFX or Seasonic to prepare for the 970.

Ok, I'll look at them, I was also wondering if I should get a cpu cooler for my cpu if I have extra $ because I'm using the stock one right now.

you don't want a junk cx power supply. especially that one. at 1680x1050 you don't need a new card. save your money.

when you say "more storage that I need"................ an SSD will really liven up your machine. but I would get a big drive (*256/240 ) minimum. for my boot drive.

What about this for a PSU:

a 650W Rosewill 80+ Bronze

FYI: I don't really want modular because with all of my stuff I will end up using almost all the cords so there is no reason to spend extra for it.
Then maybe with the extra ~20$ I could get a CPU cooler?
I would like to get SOMETHING even if it's not an internal part (headphones, webcam, or anything really) but if you think that saving is the best option.
