Need advice with upgrade

I'm currently in college so I don't have the biggest budget so I would appreciate any help.

I already have a custom built computer but I was looking to upgrade it, so I currently have the following:

CPU: Intel i5 3570

GPU: GTX 970 (3.5GB :P)

RAM: Kingston 8GB single module (1333mhz)

PSU: Powercool 650W High Efficiency Black PSU (Bronze Plus rating)

Motherboard: Asrock H61m DGS (Really cheap motherboard)

Case: CiT Orion Midi Tower Gaming Case 

So, I was looking at the Intel i5 4960k and MSI Z97 PC Mate Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard.

Motherboard: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-276-MS&groupid=701&catid=5

Please do tell me whether I need to consider an other factors, will my case, PSU and ram suffice? 

Thanks in advance!


I'd look into upgrading your PSU to something that won't die and take the rest of your components with it. Something like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cooler-Master-Semi-Modular-Series-V650/dp/B00FH8UB2W/

Your case is just personal choice, but I'd get an upgrade. Just something that has a bit better airflow.

If you're only gaming then that CPU upgrade isn't really worth it. Wait longer until you have a larger budget to upgrade your CPU, mobo and RAM at the same time. You could invest in an SSD in the mean time.

Thank you for replying, gaming is what I do mainly however I also render videos here and there along with running a few virtual machines for testing software and video tutorials. 
The PSU that i'm currently using hasn't given me any trouble since I have been using it for over a year, an SSD hasn't been a priority for me since I don't mind a slightly slower loading times, I also don't like the shorter life span in comparison to traditional mechanical hard drives (My personal preference).
Though I shall take your advice into consideration, thanks again for replying!
