Thanks for the reply, I will try relocating it under the GPU, I also have 3 more 120mm fans on the way as currently it only has one 120mm exhaust fan and one 120mm fan on the radiator in pull configuration 

Thank you for the replies will adding a heatsink void my 5 year warranty?

So I bought a Crucial P1 1TB Nvme SSD last week, it's been great until last night while playing DragonBall Z Kakarot when suddenly my whole PC shut off and then restarted itself I checked the temp of the SSD and found it maxed out at 93c. I let it cool down to about 50-60c then tried playing the game again, once again the PC shut off and restarted itself I check the temp of the SSD this time around 89c. So I tried playing less intensive games like CSGO had no issues with it overheating got to about 67-68c and stayed around there PC didn't shut off. So really I have a couple questions 
 
1) I have everything OS games files etc stored on the Nvme if it overheats like that is it normal for the PC to shut itself down and restart itself 
 
2) Is my SSD faulty? Or is it the game causing the issue? 
 
3) Should I buy a heatsink for it and if so what is a recommended heatsink?

It's a solid entry level system. In terms of gaming performance the i3-8100 and GTX 1050 Ti are well matched. Check out GTX 1050 Ti reviews to get a rough idea of expected performance.
 
If you have a working hdd, you could try using it. With that savings and a little bit more in the pot, you might be able to get a 240GB+ ssd which would improve booting, loading and non-gaming performance.
 

Awfully tight budget for NZ.

HI Everyone,
 
Let me start by apologizing if this is in the wrong section, I wasn't sure where to post this as I am new here.
 
I'm thinking of changing teams and moving from Console gaming to PC gaming.
However my PC is... slightly old so I am wondering would it be better(cheaper) to upgrade it (if its possible) or start a whole new build?
As you can see from the pictures it has had a hard long life, any help would be appreciated, as I am new to this PC world.

Thanks in advance for any help you are able to provide.
