Hello everyone,
Last week I built this budget PC with the following specs: (prices in $AU)
Intel Core i5 - 2400 (from old pc I had)
MSI H61M-P20 (G3) ($35 AUD)
Stock Intel Cooler
EVGA 970 SSC ($550 AUD) (Upgraded from GTX 750 Ti)
SanDisk 120GB SSD Plus ($69 AUD)
1TB Seagate Pipeline 5900rpm (Empty) (Leftover from old pc)
500GB Hitachi 7200RPM (Leftover)
Cougar RS750W 90+ ($95 AUD)
8GB 2x4 DDR3 1600 Samsung Ram (Leftover but only 2 Dimm slots on mobo)
RGB Leds with remote ($20 AUD)
Unidentifiable Case I got for free and I am in the process of adding a side window
Total Cost: Approx AU$770 or US$560 as of 7/05/16

Now what I would like to do is upgrade the CPU cooler to an AiO solution like the H80i (case only has 1x 120mm fan slot) with a budget of US$100 and if possible upgrade the CPU for under $200, I would also like to get 16GB of 2x8 Ram for around $60.

If anybody knows what the case is that would be amazing!

You could maybe find a good find on newegg or your favorite pc part store for a All in one Liquid cooler and Ram, and the case seems like an hp pavilion type case but im not sure. Maybe a second ssd for raid 0 if your motherboard supports it.

It is not a "OEM" case eg: dell, hp, etc
and that reply doesnt really help me at all. I was asking for part suggestions.

Well you arent gonna find a new core i7 or i5 from that generation(unless you go to ebay or amazon), and how would someone find out what case it is unless we have some sort of production codes, branding or note that have the name on it. You will surely find a good bargian on newegg the moment you open it, due to ageing ddr3 just losing market value. And i know my air coolers but liquid isn't my thing. And as stated an extra ssd for raid 0 is all advice i can give.

I think the Cpu is good for general gaming and such, if your unsure about questions look at the more hot threads where people way more dedicated to hardware are at. the ipc for the 2400 is around 0.75 or so if we compare it against a 4690 ( basically 75% the power of that cpu) and you only have 1 pcie gen 3 on that motherboard but it should not bottleneck the system unless the more cpusided games come into mind, anyways the most bottlenecking part is amount of ram and the disks ever since 2010.

A better gpu will always make the games run better, so yes if you have the money and can wait 20 days for it to even be launched :)
