Upgrade

Hello.

 

So, after my mobo died, and the second hand replacement I got wasn't in the best shape, my gpu decided to die too (see here).

 

This is want I want to replace:

Intel - Core i7-3770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor Asus - Maximus IV Extreme (REV 3.0) EATX LGA1155 Asus - GeForce GTX 780 3GB DirectCU II Video Card

I'm not looking to replace everything, the SSD and HDD will remain, the case and PSU too.

I have only used intel until now, but i don't mind switching over to amd.

 

Budget: 600/700€ (Portugal)

 

Although there's some things I need to know first. People often advice to use the cooler that comes with ryzen, is it any good? Performance and noise whise? I'm a little nitpicking when it comes to noise. I don't plan to overclock for now btw.

 

Other thing I need some help is fans, I have a bunch of noctua fans (about 5 NF-A14 PWM) and the 200mm phanteks fan that comes with the case. What would be the best fan setup? Or are there better fans for case cooling?

 

Finnaly, I plan on using this PC mainly for gaming, I play a lot of Diablo 3, GW2, some indie games and AAA games (when they get cheap on steam), with my budget can I build something to last like 3/4 years?

 

Sorry for all this nitpicking and thanks!

@Colexd I agree. I've been using the wraith spire with a 1500x without an issue. It's silent, I'd say my graphics card, power supply and possibly even my stock case fans are louder most of the time. @orium However, keep in mind that I'm using a 95w cooler on a 65w CPU. It might not be as good if you choose a higher-end CPU that also comes with the spire.

You could get the 1060 3gb instead for 65 less but I'd recommend you get the 6gb instead.

The store where I'm going to buy is selling a MSI GeForce GTX 1060 AERO ITX 6G OC 269,90€

 

Is this any good? (it only has one fan though)
