When idling my PC runs very cool and nice no noise beautiful, but when i start gaming the fans really start kicking in and making a racket, i mean a RACKET! Now yes this but be bearable if it wasnt for the huge temp increase. Now i know its going to run hotter if its gaming but still i cant hel but feel its too hot and i may be damaging components? Is there anyway to view the temps so i can give you guys an idea of whats happening?

Well i mean the CPU i wouldn't say makes a noticeable noise, its when i kick the games in the fans on the GPU just go crazy and spew out a ton of heat, im a serious gamer and i really don't want this being a problem. i mean by the end of the day my room is like a sauna i just cant control the heat...

You actually feel the heat? I never have that, try reinstalling the drivers and if that doesn't work maybe there's just something wrong with the fans.

i can seriously feel the heat, i mean im hoping to get a job when i hit my 16th birthday so im going to seriously upgrade parts. Might just do a whole new build so im thinking of getting a corsair radiator to cool my CPU getting a silent case and installing loads of case fans, how do you think that will work?

During summer i can't game at all if i don't have my AC on, its perfectly normal for heat to build up in the room especially when you have your window closed

I wouldn't do a whole new build. Always recycle parts like HDD, SSD, Optical Drive and if it's a good one the PSU.
I have the 2 stock coolers in my Fractal Design Define R4 so you don't need to throw more case fans at all, I would rather buy better replacement fans for your case to make it cooler and silent.

The trouble is its now the case fans that are loud its the GPU fans and the amount of heat they disperse. What would you suggest me upgrade? I wanted the i5 4770k which is going to require me to but a new motherboard as it has the 1150 socket and my mobo has the 1155. I'm going to do games development next year at college as well so the added power isn't going to hurt, what do you think?

You mean i7 4770K hahaha. But I would get the i7 4790K or if it's just gaming really just get the i5 4690K, the i7 won't really help in gaming. Are you going to OC the CPU? If not get the non-K version of the CPU and a H97 mobo otherwise get the K version with a Z97. And you don't really need to upgrade the GPU unless you have the money. What's your budget?

I don't have a budget for anything, im just really hoping im able to get a job and earn the money to get this thing high spec and running how i have always wanted it.
I get mixed up with the i5's so many of the things, i was meant to say the 4670k. But if you think i should go with an i7 then i don't really want to scrimp and buy rubbish parts that i will want t upgrade in the near future.

I want my PC for serious gaming, and games development for college. If you have the time i would really appreciate a build or just some suggestions of a PC combining parts of my current PC and parts you think are suited to my needs.

I didn't really want to overclock but i always wanted the option there for if i felt like doing it in the future.

Thanks so much

If you're not doing serious video editing or something a 4670(K) or 4690(K) is fine, really. And sure just send me a Private Message with all your ideas.
