Part upgrade benefits?

[Watercooler970]

Hi

 

I am going to build a custom water cooling loop for my PC but before that should I upgrade some of my components?

What would u guys suggest? And what would be the benefits for example upgrading to Asus Maximus Z97 VII Hero?

 

Current system specs:

 

Fractal Design Define R5 Windowed case

Asus z87 C motherboard

Intel Core i5 Haswell 4670K

Gigabyte gtx 970 g1 gaming

8 Gb of Team Group 1600 MHZ DDR3 memory

1 TB Western Digital HDD

Kingston 128 Gb ssd

Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 550w PSU

Intel Stock cooler

 

I want to own a balanced system, what should I do?

Thanks for your help!

But you do have a balanced system.

Edit: Stock cooler? Are you overclocking your 4670k?

... Seriously? Change the Stock Cooler to another cooler before changing to custom water cooling loop ...

Anyway, your specs seems to be fine and should not require any upgrades for the time being or even a few years down the road.

Go ahead with the water cooling loop I think.

As you mentioned, the cooler upgrade is obviously very necessary. Was just meaning what parts should I upgrade if i wanted to move to the next tech level.

Anyways, thanks very much!

Next tech level would be X99 which is very expensive now. Therefore I said you can carry on with your custom cooling with your current specs. Maybe 3 or 4 years down the road, when X99 is cheaper, then you can consider upgrading. Your current rig is pretty good to play all kinds of games for now.

Ok, I´ll go with the loop.
