Cooling for Gaming

[DoomsEve]

Okay , so sorry if i missed the right place for this post but! I'm new So. i don't want this post to be too long and ill just jump in! I'm banging my head trying to figure out if i should get the all in one water cooling solution the Cooler Master Seidon 120V, or if i should get a air-cooler, the Cooler Master Hyper 103 EVO Low Profile cooler and a extra Fan for my case for the sake of good airflow. At the moment im running with a stock CPU cooler , and i have 1 intake fan at the bottom-front of the case. My CPU while gaming will hover around 60-65 degrees Celcius, while my GPU hovers around 60-70 degrees Celcius. Now im thinking about getting the Seidon 120V and later on a extra case fan. but im not a 100% sure it will fit in my case, because of the small Mother Board(although its not impossible). Sorry for this long post but i don't want to make a mistake, looking forward to some info!  And last but not least. here is my rig.

 

Case: Cooler Master Chassis K380 

MB: M5A78L-M LX3

CPU: AMD FX-6300 (At stock speed, not over clocked)

GPU: Asus R7 260X 1GDR5

RAM: Kingstone Hyper X Blu 1600mhz (1 stick of 4GB)

So you put the stock fan on the bottom or do you have front and bottom 120's? In that case I'd have some 3 good 120mm fans for front, bottom and rear and a 212 EVO if it fits. Should get your CPU in the 45 - 50's.

An air cooler like CM Hyper 212 X would be much better for FX6300.

I wanted to get the CM Hyper 212 X BUT sadly it doesn't fit.. So its between the Seidon or the Hyper 103 EVO 

 

Shaqo_Wyn The case came with a stock 120mm fan in the front. thats it  

 

So its better to go with the 103 EVO and 2 more case fans?

Yeah don't bother with the AIO, I used to have the 120m and it was useless, the 120v is pretty much the same just with some minor changes.
