Hi,

My system specs-
Processor- i5 4690
Motherboard- Gigabyte HD1M Gaming 3
GPU- Zotac GTX 960 2GB AMP edition
Ram- 12 GB
Power- Corsair VS 450 Watt

The temperature of i5 will be high till 70 deg and GPU till 81 deg when playing some games like Assassins creed Syndicate, Battlefield Hardline and when stable it will i5 36 to 38 Deg and GPU 38 to 42 deg.

My questions are-
1- Is the power supply enough for GPU or should i go for 500 Watt
2- Is cooler/fan which come up with processor enough or should i go for a stock cooler
3- Is 81 deg for GPU to be worried, what should be done to get the deg low
4- i have 2 fans added to the PC case, should i add more.

Please help.

Thanks

1: 450w is good for your hardware but if your gonna upgrade your gpu your gonna need to get a new power supply with it.
2: Stock cooler is the one that comes with the cpu and since you cant overclock you should be fine with the stock cooler.
3: It seems a bit hot but nothing to be extremely worried about. I dont know the normal temps for this card though
4: You should be fine with two but check out this video if you wanna know more about fan configuration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OmkmluAYAQ

I think your in the clear http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/zotac-geforce-gtx-960-amp-edition-graphics-card,4109.html around 80 deg is pretty normal for this card. A quick google search usually fixes most of these questions.
