I think your expectations are just too high. The gtx 1070 under load will run on 85c, nothing wrong here.

What kind of games are you going to play? Heavy graphic games? Or MOBA (LoL, Dota 2)? If you are going to play multiplayer games, then go with the 950 and i5 4460 If you want to play tomb raider, fallout 4 or deus ex, go with the 6100 and 1060. Cheers. Regards -Stiffy

Yeap! The brand of the graphic card doesn't really matter as all of em perform almost the same. Cheers

Just crank your fan speeds manually like I do and you would be good to go. Do not touch the memory speed and such if you are unsure of em'. Cheers. Regards -Stiffy

Oh wait I actually didn't click the photo so that fault would be on my side! LMAO and man, do not put your desktop under your desk! Nonononononono! Look at all the tech reviewers on youtube and you will see them have their pcs on top of their desk! Cheers. Regards -Stiffy

Do not worry about your GPU not running at 100%. Think of it this way, if you're going to lift an empty plastic bag, you would only use a finger as opposed to lifting a plastic bag full of groceries, probably would need your entire hand + force. The 1070 doesn't think that it needs to give more...

Yes. You're good to go. Cheers. Regards -Stiffy

Weird. Yes you should get worried, it's not normal for a 1070 to run that hot. Have you tried downloading the MSI afterburner and crank your fan speed up manually? Ideally you would want to play around 50-70% under load. Also, is there enough airflow in your computer? How many case fans do you...

For your setup, I think a VS 450 will do just fine. However, there are better options out there for the 50$ price point as the VS series is meant for general use but looking at your system, i think it shouldn't draw more than 300W. You're good to go!

Just keep whatever you feel comfortable with man! You might not feel it now but later on down the road, you will suffer the same road like me for having a not so comfy mouse + gaming non-stop, it's called "TENNIS ELBOW". Make sure the mouse feels just right and you are not forcing yourself to...

Nope! VS is the entry level of corsair and it is not intended for gaming. It is a tier 4 PSU with basic chinese capacitors and no safety features. You should get a good true rated 500W power supply like the EVGA one and it will do the job just fine. Trust me man you can never go cheap with a...

If you are gaming under load, yes youre still on the safe side, I wouldn't let them get to 85c though. I think it all comes down to individual preferences on how hot is their "unsafe" because graphic cards, even though not recommended, can handle up to 90c. What are your fan settings? Have you...

Feel free to download MSI afterburner. MSI afterburner allows you to monitor everything from GPU memory usage to fan speed to your CPU temperatures and I noticed that everytime I tab out of a game, my GPU will automatically clock down to 252, yeap you read it right, 252 MHZ and will slowly go...

Yeah man waiting is always worth it. I can still remember about a month ago, I was ITCHING so much to upgrade my gt220, yeah man you read that right, gt220 for a gtx 960. Ended up that the 1060 is coming out 2 weeks from the day I decided to upgrade and I had this very disturbing feeling of not...
