What are the rest of your specs? 

 

500w is usually okay. No problem running a gtx off a 970.

Unless you're running an FX 9590 with six hard drives and enough LEDs to land a stealth bomber, I would think you're good.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

I'd upgrade first. There might be a bottleneck with your CPU. It's old. Also please quote so I know you've replied. :)

does the cooler effect anything? I was thinking a reference cooler if at the right price.

PUBG is badly optimised. A new graphics card will barely do much, especially with the bottleneck that will be your CPU. It'll just make it worse. Upgrade the rest of your rig to something in 4th gen. 

CPU: Intel Core i7 8700  

GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070

MOBO: ASUS Z370-F STRIX  

RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2133MHz

A lot of that is probably CPU related too, because PUBG is horrendously optimized when it comes right down to it.
