Will My Upgrades Fit?
Current build:
CPU - fx 8320
GPU - gtx 650 ti 1gb
MOBO - gigabyte 970a - d3p
HDD - 500gb western digital
Case - diypc adventurer case
PSU - cx600w
STOCK - heat sink, fans with case
I want to upgrade to a nzxt h440 case and put in 140mm fans with >80CFM. I also want to get a phantek PH-TC14PE heat sink and a gtx 970 Wind force edition.

How much cooling will I see out of this heat sink and fan upgrade? Which wind force 970 should I get? Is there a cheaper/ better heat-sink?

Asus striker x has some good reviews all of them have very good cooling plus gtx 900 series is low on temperature while gaming you will hardly reach more than 60c.


Would I find a big temperature difference between the hyper evo and the phantek?

For the CPU cooler you can get the hyper 212 evo its about 30$ .

And for the GPU go for with Asus strikex , MSI twin frozer or Gigabyte windforce.


Which GPU is the best/ lowest temps of the ones you listed because I will not be water cooling or replacing the stock heatsink on it.
