Should I upgrade GPU, buy more ram or OC CPU (new cpu cooler)

[djenkov]

Hey,

So I want to upgrade my PC a little, but don't have the money for an all around upgrade.
My specs are:

GPU: Palit GTX 770 2GB - Want to upgrade to AMD MSI or Saphire R9 390
CPU: i5 4690k (want to buy Noctua NH-D15 for OC)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 2400mhz (add another 8GB)
Motherboard: ASUS Z97-A

I am kinda hesitant to buy a new GPU since Pascal/Arctic Islands will be released in 2016. Still, R9 390 is good value for money and will be a huge boost in FPS.
or should I go for more ram + cooler and wait a bit for the new GPUs (even with the new releases my budget will still be around 340$)?

Graphics.

Will a FSP Auron 600W suffice for the GPU upgrade? I can't find out how much amps the 12V rail can push. It's a praised brand but I want to be sure.

According to the specs on Newegg (which aren't always accurate) it has the following:

+3.3V@24A, +5V@24A, +12V1@18A, +12V2@18A, +12V3@18A, +12V4@18A, -12V@0.5A, +5VSB@3.5A

Your PSU should be able to handle an R9 390 but you won't have a lot of extra built in.

Thanks dude!

You're welcome. Everyone complains about the US having better pricing on electronics and contests they can't enter but I feel like the Asians shaft us when it comes to service and website driver and info updates.

Also, if you can figure out what rails go to what leads it might be a good idea to even the distribution when you plug your system in. More stability, and would help your PSU last longer. It may be split on each 12v lead as it is, but I'm not sure. Molex and sata could be on one, and PCIE on two, etc.

Will have that in mind, thanks again!
