Buy a decent GFX card now, as that will be able to carry over to a new system if/when you decide to build one. Then buy a single tower air cooler for your CPU (hyper 212 or Cryorig H7), and you should be able to overclock to somewhere around 4.3-4.5 ghz stable if you aren't already. That will help make up for a little bit of CPU bottleneck. I was able to get 4.3 on my old 8320 without even adding voltage. I've heard rumors of people getting as high as 4.8.


RX 570/580 8gb - Better option if you have/want to get a freesync display
GTX 1060 6gb or better - Better if you want to use 144hz monitors

The fuck kinda droogs you on? it's $340...
An extra $$ to go from 4 to 8 GB ram, 100% worth it.
