What would you change?

Hello everyone!

This is my current rig:

Case: Aerocool VX-R LE (2 new enermax cluster 120mm fans (white led) and 1 new 140mm be quiet silent wings)

Mobo: ASRock 870 Extreme 3

CPU: AMD Athlon II x4 640 (standard cooling)

GPU: Sapphire 5770 vapor-x

MEM: 4gb ocz ddr3-1333

PSU: OCZ StealthXtreme 600W (eol)

Sound: Asus xonar dx

Wlan: tp link something card (pci slot)

____________

I've also got these parts:

- EK Supreme HF nickel/acetal cpu block

- EK multioption x2 150 reservoir advanced

- Laing ddc-1+ Ultra 18w (swiftech mcp355)

I wanted to watercool my cpu, just because of the silence and the 'looks cool'-factor ^^

But now I'm not so sure anymore. I just can't find the right case and I'm doubtful about it because it seems like waisting a lot of money on something that doesn't increase the performance... It feels kind of wrong

although it would be cool. Oh hell I don't know :/ please help!

Silence, cool looks, but still good gaming performance.

I've been thinking about another 5770 (or 6770) to go crossfire. Or maybe a real silent case, but what about the watercooling? Maybe I'd be better of with something like a noctua nh-d14? But that doesn't fit in the case I have now... Or maybe cpu upgrade? Or an SSD? Wait for 7xxx-series or maybe bulldozer? But then a AM3+ motherboard would be required. See my problem?

If your ideas would fit in or around a €200 budget, that would be great ^^ Thanks!

Dude if that were the case we'd all still have those beige boxes underneath our desks.

Just think what would make the biggest difference to you, what would you get the most enjoyment out of?
