Deepcool assassin, Fx8120, Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB

Hi everyone,
I have been running the config that am gonna write below for about 2.5 years on pretty much stock. I am planning on some upgrades as well.

Config now :

Cabinet : Zebronics Scorpion , which I will probably have to change anyways.

Motherboard : Asus Sabertooth 990Fx and I love this beast. 😍

Processor : AMD FX8120 on Stock settings and cooler ( might not overclock any soon )

Graphics Card : ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti

RAM : 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance ( not the low profile )

PSU : CoolerMaster GX650W

Case cooling : DeepCool UF140mm at the rear and two DeepCool 80mm on the side panel.

Upgrades in mind :

Cabinet : Circle CC 830 , any better good looking one in this range( not higher ) ?

CPU Cooler : DeepCool GamerStorm Assassin . I kinda love the aesthetics of DeepCool products lately with the matte finish of blue or green. I watched some videos over YouTube and am a bit concerned about this one getting in the way of the Ram. I did hear that the Assassin does clear most of the high profile Rams. If anyone who has a similar setup or previous experience please help me out on this.
I don't plan to use any liquid cooling stuffs.

Reason for upgrade thoughts:
Lately the CPU stock cooler is too damn annoying as I have started working more on the computer with lot of Photo/Video editing on Adobe products and of course gaming. I literally can't play Crysis 3 or Far Cry 4, without getting pissed off myself due to the annoying stock cooler. The PC did a couple of auto-shutdown indicating its getting WAY TOO HOT especially now in summer 🙁

If there is anything more you need to know, i'll be happy to share.
Thanks in advance.

Well I would probably look into an AIO water cooler (i.e. 120mm Corsair H55/H60) to solve any possible CPU heat issue. I would also upgrade your GPU, if you plan on running newer games at 1080p. It's up to you, but the smaller and more efficient water coolers are probably your best option to deal with unwanted heat in your system. Obviously a good case will help too, but overall the water cooling option will do well too.
