Best Option For Next Upgrade

[B3NDY]

So here are my system specs as of how:
AMD 8350 cooled by a H100i
ASUS m5a99fx pro 2.0
Gigabyte GTX 780 Ti Windforce
Corsair RM850 850 Watt PSU
WD Blue 1TB HDD
Samsung 840 EVO 120GB SSD
Corsair 300r Case

So basically I just want any suggestions on what I could upgrade next. I was thinking of getting the new i7 4790K with an ASUS ROG Formula VII MOBO because it looks awesome but as far as performance goes it may not make too much difference.

Any other suggestions would be great, maybe another SSD so I could use it for storing games as well as my OS? A new case? Custom cooling loop?

You really don't have anything to upgrade. All of your components are great and still have a long timed till they show their age.

Now, if you want to upgrade, a custom loops looks to be something you should consider if you are into overclocking and adventurous stuff.

I would upgrade the case to a Phanteks Enthoo Pro, then build a watercooling loop.

The other thing that I would consider is going to a 1440p monitor. I am going to be going for an ultrawide 2560 x 1440p monitor in August.

I hadn't thought about getting a new monitor, I might look into that. What 1440p monitors would you recommend that arn't too expensive. No more than £300 really because although it may not seem like it I am actually on quite a tight budget since im 15 and washing up at a pub to get the money.

Also would I be able to play 1080p on a 1440p monitor if I wanted to get some higher frame rates or some other reasons without getting weird things happening?

Take a look at the XFX 850W Black Edition 80+ Gold Fully-Modular Power Supply www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-Black-Edition-Fully-Modular-Supply/dp/B00B88Z0LM, track its price and buy one when it is on sale.

The cost of a custom loop never ends so avoid going down that path if possible. I have 3 extra computer towers lying around so avoid buying extra computer towers unless if you are getting them at the low low price of 20 quids. Take care.

My PSU is fully modular as it is and the fan only starts up after %20 load so I probably won't get a new one of those. I think I will follow your advice on the custom loop though because it does seem very expensive for what you get out of it and it also seems like the case option isn't the best either. I guess a new 1440p monitor is the best option now. Thanks for the help

What size monitor do you like. Also, do you like ultra wide?

Also, you should have to play games at 1080p to get a good FPS. Your card was not made for 1080p. It was made for resolutions such as 1440p.

I was thinking either 24" or 27" because these seem pretty standard size and I don't really need anything bigger. If my card will perform fine at 1440p then I will just stick to that then but i'll still keep my 1080p Benq as a second screen. I'm not to bothered about ultra wide though to be honest, it looks great but I don't want to have to go messing around all the issues that come with those ultra wide screens. Any suggestions, I'm looking into the Dell Ultrasharp at the moment but I just want a couple to be looking at so I might be able to catch a good deal.
