Which ones did you buy?I finally replaced my fans. No more buzzing

Standard 140mm fans for my liquid cooling. One corsair for the back (which unfortunately has white LEDs) and one cooler master for the front (which has no LEDs, which is why I bought it).
Nothing fancy. I don't need super fast or super quiet for my liquid cooling.
OK so

The bolded,my video card,and ram I plan on upgrading...
My question is would upgrading for i7 be worth it? I only play rocksmith 2014,CS:GO regularly on pc...though i'm looking to play GTA 5 and Fallout 4 of course.
Any suggestions for graphics?
Yall think I can turn that into something for less than $500...or should I buy a new pc altogether?

Yeah good idea. I dunno about the CPUs though. F4 is recommending a 4790. We gotta wait and see real world specs

Haswell overclockers, what's a safe temp for an overclock in prime 95? I'm using the safe, older version. I'm hitting 81c after about 10 minutes, and then it tops off at that. Crysis 3, during the intense grass level, hit 81c too on one core. I've been reading a lot about overclocking, and some people say to keep it below 90, some say 85, and others say 80. I dunno who to believe. I'm running a 4790k at 4.6ghz. I got the protection plan, so I'm all good, but I want to keep my CPU safe. During normal gaming it's anywhere from 50-70c (except in CPU intensive games like Crysis 3). Am I safe?
