SO right now i have my configuration as :
System : Window 10
My case is : Nantec Nine Hundred Two (wich the top fan not working anymore )
Motherboard : msi z97 gaming 5
My power supply is a: 650W (going to change for a corsair 860W)
CPU : Intel Core i7 4790K
RAM : 12 Go DDR3 at 666.78 MHz
Graphic card right now : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570
But i want to upgrade to a 1080
-Harddrive: Hitachi HDT725040VLA380 de 372.61 Go SATA II
-WDCWD10EADS-00P8B0 de 931.51 Go SATA II
-SSD SSD2SC240G1CS2754D117-514 de 223.57 Go SATA III
-Two monitor
-In the case i have the retailer fan for the cpu
The two front , one on the back (And i dont know about the fan on the side if it should push in or out the air).

I have a few question : Should i change some other part in the computer for my upgrade to the gtx 1080 (or what could be the bottleneck of my build )
-Should i change some of my fan inside or case because i am not sure how it going to handle with the temperature (since right now my motherboard goes to 60/65C and with two game goes to 70 C with gaming)*(same think for my CPU the heat goes to 60/70 C MAX 75 C)

P.S : Hope i am not missing a part of my computer
and i am not going to overclock anything in my build

After thinking about it, I'd say getting a new case is the best idea. A lot of cases come with pre-installed fans, but they are almost always low RPM.

This one (Corsair 300R Windowed) has very good cooling potential with plenty of fan mount...

The GTX 1080 should work fine, the i7 4790K is still a powerful CPU. Your motherboard gets to 65C? Wow... Mine never goes above 42C. Get a 120mm side fan installed pushing air IN if you want lower temps. Something like this:

If you want to replace that top fan, http://pcpartpicker.com/product/CfQypg/antec-case-fan-bigboy200

And consider the CRYORIG H7 cooler for the CPU, the stock fan isn't that great. http://pcpartpicker.com/product/93Crxr/cryorig-cpu-cooler-h7

Do you know that i love you for being able to show me the fan for the top fan(wich i am going to buy ! ) !
-For the fan putting air inside there is already two fan on the front side that goes with the case .
and right now my motherboard showing 80C wich is even more then i even was before !
-Thanx for the cooler for the cpu i am going to buy it
The last question is about the fan on the side : does it need to push the air inside the case or outside the case

You're welcome. So it's running at 80C? That's not normal! Have you dusted the inside of your case with compressed air lately? Is it hot inside your case?

I would also check the fan in your power supply and see if it has died. You might have to replace the unit. What unit are you using now?

For the fan on the side, you should have it pushing air in to the case.

That's fine. When you can, could you find out what model of power supply your friend is selling you? Most Corsair models are good, but a few models are actually not that good quality.

If you want to buy a brand new power supply, I would highly recommend this one, it's a very high quality Tier 1 unit. http://pcpartpicker.com/product/9q4NnQ/evga-power-supply-220g20650y1

It's more wattage than you actually need, but a pretty decent unit.

Oh, and are your front intake fans running on low or high? They have the 3-pin connectors, right? If you don't notice much airflow coming from them, you might want to replace them with fans that operate at higher RPM's. Same with the rear exhaust fan too. I can recommend some replacements, but would you still want blue LED fans?

@nikoli707 For the power supply ax 850 gold is was one of my friend that was solding is for 100$ cad (wich is now installed in the case ) i think is was a good deal since its was selling before for 220$ cad (well hope )

-@GraySilencer my front fan are alway set up to high speed (wich is 2000 rpm)
but you can suggest me some other fan if they are higher speed (if you can i would like to have those blue light again )
-is the controller on the front fan goes with the fan or is with the case ?
-My side fan is not blowing a lot of air so maybe suggest me one for this (it doest not have the blue light one it )
-THe rear fan i think it have the same rpm but is controlled byt the little button attached to the case (so i dont know if the the new i will buy will be able to get control by button ,let hope) So you can suggest me a set for this one too
- I love the blue light because they light enough but are not annyoning when i sleep

For the side fan you should get this one, and connect it directly to your motherboard's SYSFAN2 fan header: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/NcQypg/noctua-case-fan-nff12industrialppc2000pwm

For the rear fan you should get this one, and connect it directly to your motherboard's SYSFAN1 fan header:
(Forget about the little button on the case, the motherboard can control the speed of the fan)

Do you still have the bracket for the "middle" fan? You can use the a middle fan on any drive cage you do NOT install hard drives into. If you can install a fan there, that should really help with temps.

The 212 EVO is better, but you'll have to remove the whole motherboard from the case to install it.

I'm thinking once you get that 200mm top replacement fan, install it the normal way blowing air out and record your temps. Then, face it the other way downwards to blow air in so the VRM's get some cool air from the top, then record your temps again.

I have faced fans in both directions in cases with top fan mounts and usually get better results with the fan blowing air in from the top. Either way can work depending on your situation.

I see your HDD's are installed so it doesn't look like you can add a fan in the middle. You'll just have to get better intake 120mm fans. I would replace the front intake fans with this model, and connect them directly to SYSFAN3 fan header, using a splitter.

Fan: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/GXkwrH/corsair-co-9050043-ww-750-cfm-120mm-fan-co-9050043-ww

Link to the fan splitter: www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAA0D4C35136

Also, a PCI Slot cooler can help get more hot air out of the case: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835119066

I'd stick it in the middle slot between the video card and power supply.

After thinking about it, I'd say getting a new case is the best idea. A lot of cases come with pre-installed fans, but they are almost always low RPM.

This one (Corsair 300R Windowed) has very good cooling potential with plenty of fan mount locations. I would buy it along with six Blue LED 140mm Corsair fans and put two on top, two on the side, and two in the front.

Instead of the 212 EVO, I'd pick up the GeminII S524 Ver 2 because the 212 EVO wouldn't fit with the side fans installed. The GeminII S524 Ver 2 will not only cool the CPU, but the surrounding components like the RAM and VRM's. This is good.

Here's a list to the case, cooler, and fans: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/BsXgPs

I'd get three fan splitters also. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAA0D4C35136

And a longer SATA cable for your DVD drive: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812422760

It doesn't have any 5.25'' bays but if you can deal with that, it's actually a great choice.
