My birthday is just around the corner, and i'll be getting some money here and there for groceries to keep myself fed, though I plan on losing weight so I wont eat as much so I don't need to spend all of it.

curious what I should upgrade other than the obvious, cpu fan since it's probably going to die.

(i'm running strife in the background atm)



though for some reason when I turn my fan on and face it towards the inside of my pc.. my cpu temp doesn't go down but everything else does.

could be the thermal paste causing the high cpu temp. what cpu cooler are you using?

you may have moved it and now its not sitting on the cpu properly. anyway, id get a new cpu cooler. like a cooler master 212

regarding upgrades, id upgrade the video card to something like a 970. add an ssd if you got extra money.

alright thank ya bro

I was thinking about updating the cpu in the future , but i'm going to assume that will cost a whole new motherboard and possibly psu.

/e;

i was wanting to play gw2 at max settings at a decent framerate, but i don't think it's possible with the cpu i have now?

ideally, i5 + gtx 970. that should max gw2 without heating issues

What motehr board do i need to get?

i might just go with the 960.

Get a z97
