I'm thinking of doing some rig upgrades, but at the moment I use the G3258 which may render my changes useless. I grabbed myself a lappy for uni so thats pushed my browsing/everyday tasks there, but I'd like to use my main (in my profile) for gaming and as media storage over the network or via Plex so I think I may need some more power for that too.
So I was looking at potentially adding more quiet hard drives for media storage, a GTX970 or 980 for gaming, and a new processor cooling for looks (Aidos looks crap).
I was unsure on which processor to grab though, im either/or with overclocking, my board will do it and so can I but its not a deal killer. I was more leaning towards a Xeon E3-1230V3 for the 4C/8T but it kind of seems pointless with the current setup I have and the fact i'd be grabbing a nice CPU cooler.
I could grab another 770 if pricing was right, the PSU could take it easily but the HEEEAT would be pretty mental, and I'm not sure that theres much that I could do to keep the temps in check.
For cooling I think i'd rather grab an AIO as I know the NH-D14 is about the most hardcore air I could fit in my case as the limit is 165mm, but i'm just not a fan (huehue) of the colour.
It is looking like an i5 would be the best bet, however much I slate the i5k's for being everyones first choice :P I just don't think I could justify the money for an i7 seeing as the rig is a media box right now with the occasional game.
