hello friend. about 2 weeks ago i had this norwegian tradition called konfirmasjon. its a day to mark ur way into the grown ups world right, and you have it the year u turn 15. it is also a tradition to give gifts, and often money ( ?° ?? ?°)). now i got alot of money, but i am only allowed to use a small part of it, about 1000 dollars. ofc some of it is going to other stuff, ex new sunglasse.but if there is a time for a upgrade, it is now (or in near future, gtx1070 ( ?° ?? ?°))

here is my self built system:
intel core i5-3350p
asrock z75 pro3
sapphire r9 280x vapor-x 3gb oc
8gb 1600mhz corsair vengance ram
samsung 840 evo 128gb ssd
WD blue 1tb
4x WD blue 500 gb ( ?° ?? ?°) (got it free from an it senter i worked at)
Cm 690 II advanced

when i built this thing, i built on a budget, i bought the case, cpu and gpu used for a cheap price, and the cpu, and 1tb harddrive i got from my old pc i got a hyper 212 evo, but it is broken and i am now using stock cooler. question is, should i upgrade? i have already decided for a new case, the nzxt source s340 with side window. i program in java, and i might start learn c# and start using unity. so would upgrading to i5 4690k with a decent watercooler be worth it, besides, i need a new motherboard because i would really like a optical output for my tritton 720+ 7.1 surrond box, the asus z97a looks promising, would upgrading, and overclocking, give much boost? i am also considering new gpu, either a new one for cf, or wait until mid summerbreak and then buying a cheap 980 or something, maby even 1070 if it isent too expensive here in norway.
well what should i do? upgrade cpu? is a new gpu worth it, if i wait? btw i can do both if u are wondering, but i would not like to waste much money. ohh and the prices might not be correct, with different taxes and shit, the total max price might not give same reslt for me and for u. plz give me advice and recomendation 😉
thx in advanced

so you would not recomend a water cooler eve though it is just a little bit mre expensive and looks way cooler in a windows case?
 


so would you consider the 3350p to be a decent cpu??
 


Wowowwowo hang in there. No way i am getting a i7, the only difference is hyperthreading, in wich most games dont benefit from, i know it might be good for multitasking and shit, but i aint going that far xD
