Upgrade my pc this year or leave it as it is?

[Tosen]

CPU: Phenom II x4 965 stock q 3.4 GHZ(Overclocked to 3.6 GHZ and got BSOD very often,turned back to 3.4).
Motherboard: GA-890XA-UD3.
Ram: 8gb 1033 mhz ddr3 dual channel.
SSD: 128gb crucial m4.
HDD storage: 1tb Samsung Spinpoint.
Videocard: 570 gtx with accelero xtreme heatsink(around 24° in winter idle, 35° in summer).
Case: HAF 932(full tower).
Power supply: 1000 w Cooler Master SIlent Pro modular.

Not sure if it's gonna be worth it to buy the new ATI/NVIDIA videocards coming this summer due to a CPU bottleneck.

Keep your PC .for now don't worth any upgrade. If you don't have an aftermarket cpu cooler buy one and you can overclock. Buy an Coolermaster 212 Plus or 212 Evo.

Only upgrade if you can afford going for an Intel LGA2011 3930k system

Can upgrade your slow memory tho easily.

I Think it's great to keep it. Do not try to overclock if your CPU does not have any super,or hydro cooling, it may damage itself. You could try underclocking if your pc still crashes at factory speed. I'm impressed with the idle temp of your gpu, I have an nvidia gt 425 and it's at 42 degrees c when idle (probably because I'm in a tropical country).

Good luck with your CPU. Hope nothing bad happens.

Thanks for the replies!

Well, forgot to mention I had a Vigor Monsoon II LT heatsink for the CPU from cooler master, did a primer95 test for around 10 hours at 3.6 Ghz and no problem at all, not a dingle one. But somehow when playing videogames random BSOD appears.

Maybe get a corsair HS-1000 cooler around january?

Thanks, will come back when I wake up, 3am here
