Hey guys, here my current build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rCPLHN im wondering what i should upgrade, yes i know im still rocking the stock intel cooler :D which has been perfect so far so i dont think i need a cooler atm. i also really want to upgrade my case to something that has a bigger side window so i can see everything better. i want something like this https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Carbide-Clear-Inverse-Tower/dp/B016IAM7D8/ref=sr_1_8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1489821647&sr=1-8&keywords=Corsair+Carbide but i dont want it to be inverted. If you guys could toss me some suggestions it would be appreciated. thanks for the look! :)

Honestly you have a K processor, use it... upgrade your cooling solution and do some light overclocking even just a 212 evo or a small 120mm aio, update your gpu your card came in in what mid 2013? prices on the 1060's have dropped and you will benefit greatly from a 6gb version. lastly, for the case check out the nzxt s340 or the s340 elite if you want glass.

There's a few upgrades I would recommend,

-Get a aftermarket cooler such as the Cryorig H7 and overclock your CPU as far as it will safely go.
-A GPU upgrade to the GTX 1060 6gb or 1070 would be a good graphics upgrade.
-The NZXT H440 is a nice case or even the Phanteks Evolv cases are good.

Thanks for the replies guys, and yeah i know my gpu is old haha, thats at the top of my list, im going to pick up a 1060, and and i checked out both the cases you guys recommended and they seem a little small is there any cases like this https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Carbide-Clear-Inverse-Tower/dp/B016IAM7D8/ref=sr_1_8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1489821647&sr=1-8&keywords=Corsair+Carbide but not inverted? also would like it to have fan speed control if possible, i got super used to my current case and its a nice feature lol. Thanks again

you have a Mid tower case right now, both of the suggested cases are towers, the S340 is what my current build I'm typing on sits in and I had/have no problem working inside it and the cable management bar as well as the psu shroud make it super easy to get a clean look and make managing cables a breeze.
