PC not performing as expected for animation

Config: Asus p8z77 Mpro+i7 3770k+ kingston-1600(4gb+4gb) + WD black-1tb, Cabinet is Cooler Master elite 344, and SMPS- cooler master 600 watt (thunder),

I am planning to upgrade the system with a SSD drive(mainly for OS and software) +graphic card + CPU cooler + RAM (If required),
I use my computer Animation + Motion Graphics and designing mostly i use After effects+ cinema 4d mostly, Please help me with the UPGRADE...

(1). RAM planning to get 2 chips set 8+8 or 4+4 GB of Kingston or corsair with 1600 (i currently own 4+4 kingston 1600 RAM)

(2). CPU cooler? i was planning to get CM hyper 212 evo but not sure if it will fit my cabinet (CM elite 344 sugest me if i should upgrade this too) ; or should i get basic liquid cooling? thinking of: Cooler Master Seidon 120 V.
Note: I live in Jaipur (India), here climate is very HOT in summers above ~42-49 degree

(3). SSD? heard alot about SSD but i am not sure which one to buy dose the "PRO" tag make much difference , Please sugest: ADATA Premier Pro SP900 256 GB SSD ; Samsung 840 EVO 250 GB, (MZ-7TE250BW) OR- Adata SP600 256 GB (ASP600S3-256GM-C)

(4). Graphic card- ? here i have no knowledge at all.. PLEASE sugest I have read that quadro cards are best option for Animation but they are way out of my bidget , can i use some gaming cards for animation rendering and (specifically for C4D and Open GL support for After effects)

I have chosen everything on budjet, and according to my very limited knowledge of hardware, (no additional graphic card and with the intel heat-sink came with processor),

PROBLEMS: my pc had issues with heating as well- shown warnings of up to 80 degree Celsius, And my hdd just shown a smart error (i contacted WD and getting it replaced),

I am on a tight budget but if its really worth i can spend a little extra, i want the best value for money stuff.. nothing fancy!!.............i like things simple.. :)

PS : i am a rookie in hardware, NEED SOME EXPERT ADVICE as there are not very knowledgeable hardware people around here.. Please suggest some alternate options as well (as may be all the latest hardware may not be available in India) ...

Thanks All....

Those temperatures are way too high. The stock cooler is not good enough to keep that i7 cool at ambient temperatures above 40°C. This would be a cooler suffice for your needs: http://www.flipkart.com/cooler-master-hyper-tx3-evo/p/itmd5xzprhxvefrj?pid=COLD5XZPV75JZAEZ&ref=L%3A-8235236230093190656&srno=p_1&query=CPU+cooler&otracker=from-search

For your needs, any graphics card would be better than the integrated graphics of that i7. What kind of budget do you have for a graphics card? Take into consideration that your power supply is a poor quality model, you won't want to stress it very much.

An SSD is a good addition to any computer, however, the budget should be first aimed at a good graphics card and cooler, rather than an SSD.
