*Check system specs below*

I just wanted some advice on what to replace or add to my PC to my RIG such as liquid cooling or heatsinks or other CPUs i can get or even GPUs because i have some money id like to use on it and the C70 case is quite spacious and id like to make it better but i really dont know what else to get-- or ahould i get a new monitor?

It is really up to you as to what to get; but it also depends on specifically what you are looking for. For cooling; I just use my case supplied fans and cpu fan instead of any liquid cooling. For heatsink; i would just stick with the one that came with the cpu since it probably was meant specifically for that cpu. For other option you could also put in a second hard drive and use it as extra storage. You could also get a blu ray writer/player. There are too many options to list but hopefully this gives you a idea.

Looks like you have all the bells and whistles. You could OC the i5 since you have a K model and then add liquid cooling. OR get an i7 - but check what models the board supports.

If you are using the stock Intel cooler, you definately need a better CPU cooler if you want to overclock. Which brand and type is up to you. Many use the AIO coolers and are quite happy with them. You could get a 3770K CPU, but depending on what you use your computer for, there most likely will be little difference. If you are a gamer, another or better graphics card will help much more than a CPU as most games are graphics bound. However, I know of no game your current card will not play very well.

Just a note:
You have a quality power supply but it's wattage is very close to the minimum required. (500W)
