PC refresh

[SHADY16]

so im considering refreshing my pc with my tax refund by doing a few changes. my current build is in my signature. 

Corsair Air 540 -> Corsair Crystal 570x

corsair red LED 3200mhz 16gb -> Corsair RGB Pro 32gb 

Corsair H115 -> Corsair H150

Corsair red ML140 fans x3 -> Corsair LL140s x3 

Corsair AF 120 red x3 -> Corsair LL120 x3 

 

Arrows indicate what im considering moving to. any thoughts suggestions or advice on this is greatly appreciated. everything else in my build not listed here is remaining the same.

Case is your choice

Do you need more RAM? If not I don't see a reason to get more, unless you just want RGB. More RAM won't benefit you unless you actually use more than 16GB.

Does your CPU run hot/do you want to OC it more? an H115 is already pretty high up there as far as coolers go. Or just for looks?

Fans are your choice. Mag lev will probably be a bit quieter but lights are cool too.

yeah the ram is mainly for RGB and same with the fans, my local microcenter doesnt carry the RGB mag Lev fans. for the cooler i was thinking the h150 would perform better on my overclocked 8700k.

delidding is where you will see the real performance gains. Once you get above about a 280mm, the law of diminishing returns hits hard with a stock IHS.

You read my mind on the delidding. 

 

Also OP...have you considered a custom water cooling setup.

i have but dont really have the time to install it and have never done it before, and i dont want to risk delidding  my chip. it tops out at 80c after 2 hours of aida64 and doesnt go above 65c in games so i think its ok. im mainly looking for aesthetics and a smaller case to give me more desk space. and i also want the ability to change my color theme around whenever i choose too
