Upgrade for around $100

So, I got about $125 to spend on an upgrade for my computer and I need suggestions. I was thinking to get a good CPU cooler since its summer and mine runs pretty hot (sometimes reaching 60C). But I still have a really open mind.

My current specs are:

-AMD x4 965 @ 3.2ghz

-4 gig OCZ

-320HDD

-gigabyte 5830

-cooler master 600 watt

My current ideas, are

1. Getting a decent CPU cooler, as I hear the x4 965's can hit 4ghz with a decent cooler.

2. Saving for another month or so and getting another 5830 ( but I'm not sure if my psu could handle it)

3.another HDD

So what do you suggest? Links would be appreciated :)

if you wan't the best performance boost, it would be best to get another 5830, but i think you'd better upgrade your PSU to 800W or higher... i wouldn't even try with 600W. you'd just fry it : ]

i don't think you have bottleneck in CPU when it comes to gaming.

EDIT - the 5830 requires only a 600watt PSU to run CF - ur current PSU may do just fine? I wouldnt buy a new one out of speculation.

Buy it and see how it runs, if it goes south, return it.

Shows 500w in total understress, give it a shot not sure about your brand of psu though if it can take it. Maybe leave it at stock, and 3ghz+ for cpu is decent enough.
