It's always going to produce heat.

Better airflow gives higher temps in your room doe

Yeah I thought as much. I was just hoping some really nice liquid cooler would make the heat source minimal. XD

It might lower it a little, But it will still warm your room up.

So nothing would really need to be replaced?

I want to be ready for the new WoW expansion if the computer doesn't handle it well I'll be upset. :(

E: Would a liquid cooler or a better CPU cooler keep my computer cool? It gets hot as fuck in my room with my PC running and the door shut. Or is that inevitable with the door being shut?

thermodynamics
if you remove heat from your cpu more efficiently it heats up your room faster

leave a window open

Unless you move an absolute shit ton of air, In which it would actually cool the room, Despite transferring the heat away from the pc.

Temperature =/= produced heat.

Your computer produces X amount of heat energy, a better cooler will just keep only your CPU cooler, rest stays the same. Though it's true, if electronics are ran at lower temperatures, their effiency gets better and the CPU would produce less heat, marginally though.

So would there be any recommended upgrades for the rig? Or is it fine?

I feel it's choppy on WoW with higher settings.
