For a few operations, specifically one game, I'll receive core temps up to the high 90's (celcius). As soon as I built the PC, I noticed temps in the mid-high 70's just downloading updates and drivers. I figured this was fine as my internet is hot garbage and because I am using the stock Wraith cooler that came with my CPU. Ever since, I've been noticing higher-than-I'd-like temps in almost everything I do, but not threatening temps. That was, until I downloaded Descenders. Even on the lowest settings with my monitor framerate capped at 60Hz, I get core temps up to 98C. So it seems I need a new cooler. I wouldn't be completely opposed to an AIO system, but I feel like a non-liquid cooling system would be more my speed. Any and all suggestions are appreciated! Also, I currently have 3 intake fans on the front, 1 outward on the upper back, and no fans in the top, which has ventilation room for about 2-2.5 fans. I was unable to find my case on partpicker. P.S: These are not the prices I paid for these parts, I just lost my original PCPartpicker list.

Awesome, thanks for the info!

Budget (including currency): $1200-1800 USD Country: United States Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly gaming (Rocket league and WoW), Ableton, and I would like the capability to do video editing/rendering. Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I'll need Windows 10, 1 or 2 monitors and a keyboard as well, preferably mechanical. I am not picky about the case as long as it looks clean. Clear or closed front and side panels are fine. As this is my first PC build, I don't know much about buying these items. Do the necessary cords come with the parts (besides power cord, ethernet, USB I probably don't have any of the right wires)? As to as why I fell I should upgrade; I've been using a 2012 Macbook Pro for the last 7 years and it is becoming almost unusable. Thanks in advance for any and all help!
