Components upgrade

Hi
It's been 3 years since I've build my rig so it's time for some upgrades etc.
Current set up is not too bad I think, more air coolers would be beneficial I guess, maybe some fan controllers, all suggestions more than appreciate.

My current rig:
CPU: Intel Core i5 3570K
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H
GPU: MSI HD 7950 Twin Frozr III
HDD: 1TB WD Caviar Blue
SSD: 120GB Samsung 840 PRO
Case: Corsair Carbide Series 500R
CPU Fan: True Spirit 140mm
DVD±RW: LG GH24NS95 24x DVD Writer
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Jet Black 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz
PSU: 650W Corsair Enthusiast Series TX650M
LCD: Philips 239C4QHSB 23" IPS

Everything stock, nothing overclocked

Thanks

What would fit without changing the PSU ? Any suggestions ? for GPU up to 300 quid

970 would do the trick or a 390.
Maybe a better monitor, is your 23" 1080p?

Yes its 1920 x 1080 pixels

well, if you remove the upper hard drive cage and use the bottom one you dont need to worry about size, but if i was you i would save up a bit more and splash out on a decent gpu upgrade as yours is still okay

what's the "decent" in your eyes

I'm not up to date I'm afraid ^^

Get a 390 or 390x either would fit work with your psu if you want anything better than that get a 980ti. But a 390 is more than powerful enough to play all the new games on high settings at 1080p and would probably be your best option.

Which 390x cause I've seen few different models, names etc
