Last year I put together an Intel i9900k, RTX 2070, 4 8gb sticks and a 1tb m.2 on an ROG maximus hero motherboard. I love my build but I feel that it needs more cooling. Right now it has a corsair h100 cpu cooler and just some fans in the case (Corsair rgb carbide). I want to get a much larger case and maybe sell my card and get something SLI compatible. I am willing to spend up to 1k on a new case, cooling system, and a 4k monitor for video editing and just surfing the web. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

What case do you have now? If you don't have plans for an open loop a large case usually isn't needed. Something reasonably sized with good cable management and good ventilation should do nicely.

If you're doing this for gaming you'll be disappointed. Most developers don't optimize for SLI anymore so performance doesn't scale well per dollar.

This could easily eat your entire budget. Are you editing for fun or is this business related?

SLI is dumb and dead. You're better off just buying a 2080TI or waiting for something new to come out.

I looked at this one, it was between it and Samsung

If you go to your local Best Buy they should have one of those Samsung monitors on display. After seeing it in person I went in a different direction.

US Dollar. My CPU is cooled pretty well, the highest its been is 65C. Graphics card always gets too hot though. I am trying to keep a white theme. I will post a picture in a few.

more fans may not help your gpu if they’re placed badly and still may not even if they’re not placed badly.
 

Step one is make sure the GPU isn’t full of dust bunnies or something.  Canned air is super cheap. 

 

Make and model of the GPU and temp numbers seem to be important at this point.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

-> Moved to New Builds and Planning

Getting another GPU would make air cooling for both (but more the top card) even worse than what it might be now. What are your GPU temps if you are looking to improve?

 

The case selection will actually be bit more important than just adding fans. Even to the point where you will be in conflict between better cooling or just looks. By this I mean that PSU shrouds cause higher GPU temps than without shroud.
