Hi!
My PC is about four years old, running an i5-3570K with an Asrock Z77 extreme 3 motherboard. I currently have a GTX 760 and plan to upgrade it, aiming to improve CPU performance. At this moment, upgrading the CPU doesn't seem worthwhile, so I'm considering purchasing an aftermarket cooler and attempting overclocking instead. Could someone confirm if stable overclocking is feasible with my motherboard? Also, do you have any suggestions for a good air CPU cooler that fits well and offers decent performance at a reasonable price?
I'm also wondering what kind of performance boost I can expect in games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds or CS:GO. I don't anticipate massive gains, but it would be worth the investment for the cooler.
Thanks a ton,
Dan.

I picked the Cryo H7, it's a really solid cooler and you can push it further with overclocking. I use it with my overclocked Intel i5 7600K and it works great.
