So, I have saved up $750 ish to upgrade my PC.
Current Specs:
-i7 4790k @4589 MHz
-Corsair H60
-Gigabyte G1 Sniper B6
-Crucial Tactical Tracer 2x 4GB 1x 8GB
-GTX 760ti
My motherboard is a B chipset, but it is running an experimental BIOS which allows me to overclock. Currently I am using the Gigabyte CPU upgrade feature and I have my 4790k sitting at 4589 MHz. I would like to overclock, but my Corsair H60 isn't enough to keep it stable. As I said, I have $750 to upgrade and I am planning to get a 1080ti. Is the 1080ti too much for my 4790k? So my main question is should I get better cooling for my CPU (I was thinking the NZXT x52) or a 1080ti? As it is, my 4790k constantly overheats but never gets over 212F. Is 212F (100C) too hot to use without worrying? Will I damage my CPU by letting it get to these temperatures for less than a second during BF1? Should I get a 1080 instead?
Please leave advice on what I should do.
PS: I have a 1tb nvme M.2 SSD that I acquired from a laptop Alienware sent me as a replacement, however, my motherboard won't let me boot to it in the M.2 slot. Once Windows is open it detects fine but the speed is slow, I am getting an adapter to put it into the pcie slot on my motherboard. So no SSD recommendations please.
