Build check please

Hi guys

Can somebody have a review of the below please? I'll be transfering over my HX600, SSD and 6950 but my old Q9550 can't keep up it seems - Wildstar is performing terribly. Any advice or changes for the money? Looking at 400-450 tops

Thanks

Drop the old 1155 socket / CPU for the current 1150 Haswell range and go with the Z97 chipset motherboards.

I'd get quicker RAM too.

Cooler and case are fine

Newer Z97 board, faster RAM that sort of colour matches and a dark coloured heatsink that still performs well.

Thanks gents - didn't realise 1150 series was newer than 1155. Out on a limb, but I don;t suppose any of you are running Wildstar on a similar build?

Edit: Reddit seems to be positive about the CPU + board - others have done the same upgrade so order placed! Thanks both
