Im thinking of upgrading my pc and advice on which areas to focus on,
spec below.

Im thinking of upgrading the following items

Case - I need something bigger
HDD - Get another 3tb or 2tb and sell the 1tb hdd
SSD - Upgrade to something a bit bigger
GFX - maybe a GTX 770 or R9 280X

Would would the psu be ok ?
 
Overclocking your FX8320 to 4.60GHz+ first...it would be your best upgrade in performance for games. Don't bother upgrading from your GTX660 until you got that sorted first, or the CPU bottleneck will just make the new graphic card barely any faster than your GTX660.

Also depending on what you are playing...if mostly CPU demanding low-threaded games such as MMOs or RTS, your best upgrade would probably be abandoning the AMD platform and get a Intel platform instead.

Yes, since i set up the water cooling everything is a bit squashed in, plus I have room fo any future upgrades.



I use the pc for everything, movie editing one off, image editing sometimes again, gaming, movies, music, word ext.
