Hi all,

Please check my current build here: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/BFs9Fd

I've been looking to upgrade my computer recently and actually using my SSD, however I am not familiar with building a PC, so I don't know what to look for.

I'm planning on purchasing these for a case upgrade from some no-name brand:

Noctua NH-D15S 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler
Corsair 750D Airflow Edition ATX Full Tower Case (with 3 AF140Ls included I think)
2 x Noctua NF-A14 industrialPPC-3000 PWM 158.5 CFM 140mm Fan

But I'd also like some advice on whether I should upgrade anything else in my current build, (looking specifically at motherboard, CPU and potentially PSU if need be).

I've been looking at the MSI Z170A KRAIT GAMING 3X ATX LGA1151 (and subsequently DDR4 RAM), but I'm not sure whether or not an upgrade is necessary, or even if this is a good pick-up. Similarly, I am unsure if an upgrade to the i7 3770 is needed. Although, I am open to overclocking in the future.

I will probably be looking to pick up the GTX 1100 series whenever that comes out.

I'm not to sure what brand my RAM is, but I have 2 x 8G DDR 3.

I'm not too heavy of a gamer (online is Overwatch and SFV), but it's nice to future-proof and playing AAA games in ultra high quality is always a pleasure.

Budget wise, shouldn't be an issue, although I am based in Australia if that matters for availability of parts.

Thanks for reading, and I'd appreciate any suggestions and help I can get.

Cheers.

I don't think you should upgrade cpu/motherboard/ram/psu and even gpu,but for that last one are always better options of course. ;)
I don't think you'll be needing such an expensive high end cooler,that would be just for looks.These would already all be fine,

forgot this one,

Might be that with a new case like that that the old motherboard does look abit lost and maybe just not so good with the color sceme,for that can you only decide.

Hey mate cheers for the reply.

Yeah if you reckon I don't necessarily need to upgrade the rest, then that should be alright, just wanted to know if I needed more parts so that I could buy it all at the same place and save some time on pick-up/delivery.

I'll definitely take a look at those coolers, and I suppose I'll have a poke around the other motherboards in case one catches my fancy.

Thanks for your input.
