Well right now im debating what to do with my build

1) Keep and upgrade

  a) possibly an i7 7770k, with 1080 ti with a better mobo and cpu cooler. And ram,maybe just maybe a full watercool loop

2) Sell everything by parts

3) Sell all completed

4) Use the money to better my setup

 

Why am i doing this? 

Well recently ive noticed high temps in cpu and gpu, ive been told to not worry about them, but my room just gets really hot. Not only that but in the summer it will get extremely hot. My games are running fine but i feel like i could have done better with my monitor. 

CPU - i7-4790k

GPU - MSI 980 Ti 

Mobo - MSI Z97 Gaming 5

Memory - 32 GB DDR3

Storage - 3.4 TB

i'd just swap the gpu and either save the money or use it on something else, a 4790k is still really good for gaming.

Sell an entire computer is very hard, people who likes this kind of stuff will only want one or two individual parts of it to mount theirs... honestly unless you're upgrading to ultra wide 1440p or 4k I think a 980ti is still enough horsepower to keep you going until Volta and Coffee Lake arrives, then you can upgrade everything together... the i7 4790k also keeps up with the i7 7700k fairly decently.
