Hi

i was wondering if my computer build is fine. ( you think i should upgrade anything)?

Spec

i7 3770 (Normal Intel cpu fan)

Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming Edition

16 GB ram

2TB HDD

4TB SSHD

240GB Intel SSD

Gigabyte motherboard (cant remember full name)

 

i also have a spare 1TB HDD that i had in there but replaced it with the 4TB SSHD due to the lack of HDD space any idea of what i can use it for or should i just sell it?

 

CPU: i7 3770 3.40Ghz 3.90Ghz II  Motherboard: Gigabyte II Ram: 16GB Corsair Vengeance II GPU: Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming Edition II Case: CM Storm Enforcer II

Storage: Intel 240GB SSD, 2TB HDD, 4TB SSHD II PSU: Thermal Take 700w II

Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity, all it takes is a little push.  ~Joker

In gaming it's basically just as fast as any Skylake based system, and in rendering it's like 10-15% slower. So yes, it's still very good.

will it be worth liquid cooling? or just wait til it kicks the bucket and then get a new one with liquid cooling

Is it a 3770 or a 3770k? If it's a 3770k, then yes; if it's a 3770, then no.

it should be fine for a while, your gpu is a good start, unless you want 4k gaming at ultra or something crazy like that. watercooling is not needed if you have adequate air flow in your case, even with the stock cpu fan

if i post a link to amazon try to use the LTT affiliate code to help the channel http://www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&linkCode=ur2&tag=linustechtips-20

Then a stock cooler is sufficient, and the only reason to get an aftermarket cooler is for something quieter (but a $30 air cooler will do that just fine).
