I posted how my gpu fan died and card starting to fail randomay in other thread. I think it's time to just upgrade my pc. Is this a good start? Just seeing if what I'm posting there are any better alternstives. Posting from phone or I'd make this neater sry.

Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 2.5" 240GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SV300S37A/240G

Intel Core i7-6700K Skylake Quad-Core 4.0 GHz LGA 1151 91W BX80662I76700K Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 530

MSI H170A PC Mate LGA 1151 Intel H170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Ballistix Sport LT 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) Desktop Memory Model BLS2K8G4D240FSE

I still don't know what gpu I should get. Price can go to $550

I have a 850 corsair psu I'm still using.

With that setup would it be worth it to just add the extra money and get a 1080 gpu?

I like the build with the 1080 I just removed case cd rom psu and hdd. I've never used water cooling so I'll give it a shot. Looks like I'd be better off purchasing 2 better fans for it?


I use 1080p and games normally on 1 monitorr while I watch TV or twitch on other
