might be the "back" fan not functioning very well

not sure isit from cpu/gpu fan or from my old hdd

1)install water cooling
2)change casing

Games: BF4(high settings 1080p)
GPU temp: highest hit 81degree
CPU temp: highest hit 70++degree
FAN speed: average 1300rpm~1500rpm(auto);
manual increase fan speed by 60%~80% when gpu temp hit 75degree<
plan to change to gtx770 to play in ultra settings (unsure isit good enough)
unable to check cpu rpm
need advice on
1) suggestion about which water cooling to buy and how to install it
2) suggestion about which casing to buy
3) ideal gpu to play BF4 in ultra settings ( might use for another 2 years)
or should i remain on R9 280
Thanks in advance
