Hi everyone,
I purchased a gaming desktop some time last year from Cyberpowerpc and due to inexperience, left a lot of options default. Here is what I currently have:
i7 - 4790K
MSI GTX970 4G
MSI z97s krait edition motherboard
ATNG ATM 600fb PSU
Asetek 550LC CPU liquid cooling
I think I will need to swap out the PSU. Currently I am leaning towards getting a Corsair ax760 since I want to get the new Pascal card once they come out.
I would also like to swap out the CPU cooling since I've read in some places that the one I have doesn't perform well and I do get 60-70C spikes under load. Most of the time the CPU stays around 55C while gaming but the conditional spikes which last around minutes concerns me. Is there a good option for CPU cooling for i7 - 4790K? I am okay with either liquid or air cooling.
Any feedback on what PSU and/or CPU cooling I should change into is appreciated. I currently have a Cyberpowerpc X-titan case (again, default).
BTW, is i7 - 4790K going to bottleneck the new pascal cards? I know they're not out yet but just wanted to get rough opinions on how it will fit into my current setup.
Thanks!
