Hello!

I am thinking of upgrading my PC because I have recently been having some FPS lag issues while playing BF1 on medium graphic settings, and I need some help about picking some new parts I think would help me out here.

This is currently my build http://www.pc-specs.com/pc-custom-builds/2941745

I'm thinking of getting a new case because the one I currently got is quite small and was included in this "entry gamer" pack I bought 2 years ago and I can't find it anywhere, it barely has enough room for my GPU, do you guys have any recommendations based on my parts? I'm thinking of getting the Cooler Master Mastercase 5

I'm also thinking of getting a new CPU-cooler because I now use the one that came with my Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz and I was looking at a Corsair Hydro H45.

The same goes for my RAM, I currently have two Corsair 4GB 1333MHz DDR3 RAM and thinking of getting two more, but should I maybe replace these with some better ones?

Also; is 500W power sufficient for me as of today or should I also consider upgrading this?

Thanks in advance for all answers/tips, I really appreciate any help!

My RAM recommendation https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-HyperX-FURY-2x8GB-1600MHz/dp/B00J8E8XT4/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1480798591&sr=1-2&keywords=2+x+8GB+1600MHz+DDR3+black . Sell or donate those two sticks that are in there. Or keep them in a safe place in a static free bag just in case your new RAM ever has issue.


I'd not consider anything less than the H60 for the 4490. Upgrade? MAYBE the 4690. I'm using the 212 Evo with my 4690K. AIO closed loop water cooler? H75.

PSU is fine for now. Should you upgrade to the 1060 or 70 I would upgrade the PSU at that point to https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-CX550M-BRONZE-Haswell-Modular/dp/B01B72W0A2/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1480798862&sr=1-4&keywords=Corsair+500W .

I would get at least a 700W or 750W power supply if you are upgrading your components. Heavier components require more power so you'll need more of it
