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
 
Solution



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...

Since the new case has direct fan airflow to the components you probably won't need as many fans. I would get this one for now and put it in the second 140mm front intake:

If your temps are still not satisfactory, you can add two more to the top (facing down) later on.
