Hey everyone, just dropped some new hardware in my PC, looking at future upgrade.

Current Build (After upgrades):


Processor: Intel i7 4790k @ 4.4ghz (Corsair h100i water cooler)

Memory: EVGA 16gb ddr3 @ 2400mhz

Motherboard: MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition LGA 1150

Graphics: EVGA SC acx 2.0 GTX 980 ti 6gb

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200rpm

SSD: Crucial MX 100 256gb ssd

Power Supply: Corsair CX600 watt

Case: Corsair carbide 300r


Taking any advice / recommendations, I believe my power supply is next, going full modular and more power.
 
Solution
Not much to change, definitely the power supply, then after that maybe another 980ti or you could look at water cooling via a custom loop, or a bigger ssd your build is really reaching a peak where there isn't much to change that will make a real difference

The PSU would be a safe upgrade choice. the CX600 isn't the worst unit out there, but its not great either.
I'd read some of the reviews here and here to see about a good unit in your price bracket.

You don't need a crazy wattage PSU, just use this calculator to figure out the wattage for your current/future needs (remember components get more power efficient over time)
