Heyy guys so i had an old computer with a crappy cpu and motherboard but it had a really good gpu 980ti it was bottlenecking a lot. Now i started buying parts for my next computer i reused some of my old parts like my ssd gpu and my psu. My new motherboard is the Asus tuf b550plus WIFI II, and a new proccesor Ryzen 5 5600x with the stock cooler. I also got a new case MSI  mpg gungnir 100d Red Dragon. The case is really good but my gpu is always at 85c while playing warzone 2 or mw2, i added a fan and it is better without the fan my pc wouldve turned off because of overheating. Im planning on buying 4 Case fans.  2 in the front and 2 in the back. the 2 on the front will be sucking air and the two at the back will be blowing air out. Im also going to get a cpu cooler. And in like 3 months im going to upgrade my gpu, im planning on buying an asus strix 3070ti. I think the airflow is good my motherboard only has 4 fan headers. I also need to upgrade my ram because its 16gb but its 2666mhz and it doesnt support xmp the ram is awful haha

Do you guys think this build is good?

This case is NOT good for airflow, adding fans will help a bit but you won't get very good temps on a GPU that's inside an oven...

BTW did you clean/repaste your GPU, as a 980Ti is quite old now ? Reviewed fan profile ?

A better case is the single best thing you can do for your temps. You should be repasting every few years not every couple months. 

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

There is no need to re-paste the gpu every 3 months. Depending on the properties of the paste, once every 2 - 5 years would be enough. There is little to no benefit from doing it more often. However you will wear out those thermal pads on the memory at some point. You may want to measure them, especially the thickness and order new ones (usually available as a roll for you to cut to size) and replace them the next time. As for cleaning in general, carefully blowing the dust out with a can of compressed air works great. You can use an air compressor as well but you want to limit the output pressure to not damage the card and the fan blades.  

 

Yes, add plenty of fans to that case. While 90C on Geforce cards is not an issue, it could become unstable so please do add fans to that case.
