First off, let's start with my build. Currently I have:
CPU: AMD-FX 4350 @4.2GHz w/ stock cooler
MB: MSI 760gma-p34(fx)
GPU: Nvidia GTX EVGA 960 SuperSC 2gb
RAM: 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws X Series DDR3-1600MHz
PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower 750W 80+ Gold
HDD: WD Green 1TB
Case: CM HAF 932 Advanced (w/ stock fans it comes with including a 120mm fan at the bottom)
What I'm planning to do as of now is to upgrade to an AMD-FX 8350 along with a CM Hyper 212 Evo. Reasons as to why I'm upgrading to an 8350 over something like Ryzen is because I'm on a small budget and the 8350 combined with the 212 Evo fits that budget, rather than having to go through a new mobo and $300+ CPU's, and to end the bottleneck between my CPU and GPU. I don't plan on overclocking since I haven't studied the profession of overclocking nor do I have the right MB for it. But I have done research and have seen that even the 212 Evo barely keeps the 8350 on its feet. So I would like to know if I get an Evo 212 cooler, will my case help reduce the temps even more? Or would I have to save up and get a different CPU cooler?
And another thing which isn't listed in the topic, my mb doesn't fit correctly into my case. The best way to put this is if I plan to get any aftermarket cooler, the two bottom screws are blocked off on the backplate side due to the fact that the case's cutout is not large enough for the backplate to fit in properly. If this is the case, should I just trim the square so that my MB fits and I have access to the 2 bottom screws for upgrading to an aftermarket cpu cooler?
Thanks to everyone who answers in advance!
Forgot to mention but I plan on doing video editing, photoshopping, and gaming on this build, as it was made for when I first built it. So knowing the temps and how well the temps would be for those subjects would be nice.
