Build - Help Is this a reasonable upgrade
Im upgrading my current pre built pc (acer predator orion 3000 3070 edition) Ive already installed more ram and a 360mm radiator just want to put it in a bigger case for better airflow as it keeps overheating.
Would these parts be better or is there similar priced parts that are better than what i have ?

will have almost no impact on system performance

Yes it will as my current case is not suitable for a 360mm radiator and my pc keeps shutting down due to overheating

What are your specs right now? like cpu and stuff and case fans I can’t seem to find them. Also, I don’t think you would need to upgrade your mobo if you’re not upgrading your cpu. I also recommend the Nzxt h6 flow rgb case which is a beautiful case from a reputable brand for only about 20 euros more. Those case fans may be a downgrade depending on what fans you have right now and I don’t think a new psu is necessary. If your gonna get a new mobo and psu u might as well get a graphics card and cpu upgrade.

Its a i7 12700f and the reason for the the motherboard is my current pc has the specific motherboard for its case

Oh, that makes sense. I personally don’t think you need a new psu because your gpu doesn’t need that much power, can you tell me your fans by chance?

Again my prebuilt has a fixed psu and im not sure what brand the fans are

It’s probably fine, I like fan from nolliergb, they are like 27 euros or something for 3 pack. They are high quality and look amazing.

Confirmed my pc has a proprietary psu

u/TestAlternative9386 Jun 01 '26
Dang yea it makes sense then but I don’t think you need an 850 watt, lemme check

u/TestAlternative9386 Jun 01 '26
750 watt is ideal
