Thinking of what to add to my PC

[Narzter]

Straight to the point, here are my specs:
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
CPU: i5 4670k
CPU Fan: Xigmatek Prime CPU Fan (High-end Air Cooling)
Memory: 8GB (2x4) 2133 mhz (Corsair Vengeance Pro)
GPU: GTX 770 4GB
Power Supply: CoolerMaster 850watt Silent Pro M2 Modular Gaming
SSD: 128GB Plextor PX-M5P (I have My OS on here together with BF4)
HDD: 500GB SATA-III (Data Hard Drive for all other files and non-demanding programs)

Here are some things that are on my mind:
- GPU stays at a Constant 80 Degree C temperature when playing Games (might be high)
- Want to try something new with the PC, as I ordered this system prebuilt and I want to customize it a bit myself (first custom PC)
- Have two extra 5.25" slots empty which I could possible use for a Res and Pump (if going into Liquid Cooling is worth it)

it does not look like you have a lot of case fans, so i would suggest investing in that.
the airflow will increase so that your components run cooler.
maybe you can even buy a fan controller to reduce the sound that all those fans will produce.
hope my opinion helps a bit :3

I have a 120mm Fan in the Front, 1x140mm and 1x120mm fans on top (probably didn't see them on the picture)

I still think that I might be upgrading them or adding more. Any Recommendations?

Thank you anyways, skywere

maybe another one in the back to push out the heat of the CPU and maybe 1 in the bottom to get some cool air to the GPU

I remove one from the back, as the CPU Fan on the right is already pushing air out through the small vent in the back.

I once though of putting a fan through the bottom, but didn't think it would work as there is very little space for air to enter through the bottom as I have a carpet and the case is fairly low (even though there is a place to attach one)

i see, one in the bottom would only suck more dust in so that isn't really an option too 😀
you could water cool the system, it cools all the components really well and it looks amazing.
it will cost some money but you will be able to use it for a long time and even upgrade it with a better pump or more radiators and water blocks overtime.
if you need a new CPU you just buy a new water block, they are almost the same price as a good air cooler or even cheaper, lets say around 70 dollar.
same goes with the GPU and other components.

my advise on water cooling is plan everything out really well so you know that everything will fit ,
even after all my planning i still managed to forget mounting screws for the radiator 😛
also keep in mind that coolant and tubing will need to be replaced after some time.
if i forgot something you want answers on you can always ask.

That is exactly what I am going to do: Cool this Stuff!

I am starting to plan out what I should do with all the stuff I have, to use it in the most efficient way with radiators.

sweet!
good luck with building it 😉
