Alright. I posted this here, because the main thing I'm looking for is for better cooling.

Right now I have a standard case for my computer which were made by the company that sells all the computer parts that I buy from here in Norway. So it's nothing big.

I've noticed it can get pretty hot in my computer, to the extent that it either shuts itself off or crashes. I am running windows 10 right now.

I thought that it might be an issue with the cooling. Now I am no expert of how my fans should be set up, therefore I have come here.

I wanted to upgrade to an Fractal Design Define R5 Black as I've seen some good reviews and it seem to fit my criterias; noise reduction, dust filters for easy cleaning and good (atleast better) airflow than my current case.

Now I'm wondering what would be the best cooling for my spec in that case.

Here are the specs of my computer:

 

CPU: AMD FX-6300 Black Edition, Socket AM3+

Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0, Socket-AM3+

Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 7800

HDD: Western Digital Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

RAM: DDR3, KIT 8GB, 2x4GB, 1600MHz, Crucial Ballistix Sport 240-pin SDRAM

PSU: Cooler Master B500, 500W, ATX 12V V2.3, Standard, 1x 4+4 CPU, 2x 6+2pin PCIe, 6x SATA, 3x Molex, 1x FD

 

I thought about adding Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Evo CPU cooler for my CPU, since I believe I have the standard cooler that comes with the CPU as I cannot see a CPU cooler in the order that I made about a year and a half ago.

 

What are your thoughts? And Is there any upgrades that wouldn't be too expensive I could do? I mainly play Rocket Leaguel, Football Manager. Sometimes Garrys mod, and some early releases of games. I also use Photoshop, Illustrator and Lightroom sometimes.

BeQuiet! Pure Rock is one of the best coolers you can get for $35. I believe the Shadow Rock 2 is only $5 more. Only thing else,is more ram. Other things get more expensive like a new CPU/mobo or GPU
