Spend it or Save It?

I've earned about $120 from YouTube and other things, and I just wanted to know should I buy a Noctua NH-D14 or save it for something like a new gpu (*cough cough maxwell) or an SSD?
 
I would say save up more and upgrade the gpu, go for something like a 280x/270x. Other than that your rig is still up to date.

Also, I see that you are a fan of getting games for free :D

Where do you feel like you build is lacking? The DH-14 is a beast of a cooler, but you can get a nice 1GHz 24/7 OC with a CM 212 Evo for $35 (or something else like it) and save the rest for other parts.

Save. Another thing, you should honestly be able I figure this stuff out without our help. Your 6850 is the bottleneck og your system, not your CPU (doesn't need a OC).
 
If anything I'd upgrade the GPU, but 120 bucks ins't going to get you anything better than a 6850 really.
 
You need to learn to save money I think. I know it's tempting to go and buy something when you have money in your hands (which is why I always go and pay it into my bank), but I think your money would be better spent on a new GPU.
 
Is your computer overheating at its current state? If not, then I wouldn't spend the money to repair what isn't broken. I would just save it and buy something else with it. That's just my opinion.
