your cpu is definitely capable for those games, your gpu is far behind tho, looks like you gave your cpu a bit too much love haha, in general ( for the avg user) a 20/30 (cpu/gpu) pricing plan tends to work well, were you looking at a getting a couple of components or one, whats the budget

but yeah i would say you could get another ssd i would suggest a samsung 850evo 500GB ( they are often on sale for a good price, where i am atleast)

you should look at a new gpu, your build is pretty good but for its price the gpu is definitely one of the lower performing components.

and if youre looking at water cooling, i cant tell you too much for open loop but closed loops the deepcool and corsair liquid coolers are pretty good, i have a deepcool maelstorm 240 on a i5 6400 clocked at 4.8ghz and 1.42v and it keeps it pretty cool at 40c at pretty heavy loads.

EDIT: also with ram higher frequency pretty much does nothing for gaming, you want to look at CAS latency more, tho i tend to just go for the cheapest stick that i trust and like the look of :p

Alright so definetly with some water cooling and possibly go for like a 1080 graphics card? I got about $500 to spend but i feel my cpu is getting to hot, If i overclock it will overheat and thermal so im stuck at 4.0ghz.

yeah defs go for an AIO (all in one) water cooler for your cpu (if your new to pcs) and it will allow you to take full use of the cpu with OC'ing and have a look around for a new gpu you like.

and are we talking $500 usd?
