Small Upgrade needed

WARHURYEAH · 18 Jan 2014 at 22:00

Hello,

I need a small upgrade for my PC. I currently have:

i5 2500K
16GB RAM
Asus HD 7950 DirectCU II TOP V2 3072MB
233GB Samsung SSD 840
Corsair Carbide 300R Mid and some Corsair PSU.

Anyway, I need a new CPU, Case, PSU and a fan controller. I ideally want to overclock the new CPU as well and I will have an extra 2 HDD to fit in also. It would also be beneficial if the case had support for more fans and a fan controller (my current one doesn't)

Budget is £400, but if I can get something good for a lot less I'd be happier.

The fan controller I bought has a very loose fitting, it's a 5.25 one but just isn't sitting right, I haven't tried another one. The PSU isn't a modular one which is what I'm wanting to upgrade it for. I guess I could keep the case and risk another fan controller though.

I have a Corsair Hydro H60

I might want to xfire at some point but I don't see a need for it at the moment.

Its an antec one I think, but it doesn't slot in well and the screws don't line up with the case, so it either sits with a 1cm gap inside or out.

The controller wobbeles inside it so I have to prop it up with a bit of card.

I could just keep the case, but I'd still want to upgrade the CPU and maybe cooler instead.

Okay, so I'm taking the SuperFlower one mentioned above, and that cooler you mentioned Idleman. I am very under budge so is there anything else anyone can recommend on upgrading or will I just be throwing money away for the sake of it?
