I am very proud to be the owner of an enthusiast grade computer, and so far I am very satisfied with its performance. The specs are as follows:

i5-4690k
Gigabyte G1-Gaming GTX 970
2x4gb Crucial Ballistix Sport RAM
EVGA 650w GS PSU
MSI Gaming-5 Z97
Western Digital 1tb Caviar Blue Hard Drive
TP Link Wi-fi Card
Fractal Design Define S

Ever the perfectionist I crave more performance and efficiency and was wondering what the best steps to take would be in this process. I've already sourced some components that I'd like to add once I have the money to do so.

CORSAIR Hydro Series H60 High Performance Water / Liquid CPU Cooler. 120mm
Crucial MX200 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
SteelSeries Siberia v2 Headset
Corsair K70 RGB Wired Gaming Keyboard
Corsair M65 RGB Wired Laser Mouse
Corsair Air Series AF120 White 52.2 CFM 120mm Fan
Any XBOX 360 controller adapter
Another Gigabyte G1-Gaming GTX 970
Upgrading to an i7-4770k

Those are the only upgrades I've been able to think of, all opinions and data are appreciated. If you have ideas about some parts that I didn't list, or alternates to components I did pick, please speak your mind.

Seems good.

However, you don't need to upgrade your processor. The i5 is overkill, actually for many games right now.


Everything looks good, though.
