Looking to upgrade G20Aj

[pluiebattante7]

The specifications for the GPU and CPU are a GTX 750 and Intel i5 4460.

I'd like to upgrade the cooling, it doesn't have to be water cooling since I don't feel like replacing the liquid yearly and what not. And I intend to buy some nice thermal paste. I just need a fan that'll fit in the case and cool well just fine.

I'm for sure gonna upgrade the graphics card. Would a 950 or a 960 go beyond the current electrical requirements and require me to channel additional power to the PC or am I fine with the stock power brick that powers my current 750.

I want to upgrade because I find the cooling for this system is terrible. Idle it's about 30c and gaming it rising to 60c. When I wasn't using MSI after burner my temps would rise well above 70c+ and would crash my PC.

I also got around 50/60 in temp when i play on the updated G20CB with GTX 1080 and i7/6700K and dont see that as a problem in this tight case as long as the fans and cooler works properly but mine have never crashed even if it got really high temps for different reasons when i have tested it with some nasty benchmark software who it managed good.Water cooling should work but probably need holes in the G20 case.And if, get one with big radiator when the smaller ones usually have the fans running often.Try the Arctic Silver thermal paste.Great stuff.

Yea since I don't want to drill holes or anything I'm just gonna get a CPU fan instead. As for the Arctic Silver paste that was my go to in the first place. In terms of GPU Would I need to get more power into the PC if I upgraded to a 960? And does anyone have any recommendations for CPU fans for my i5?

You probably need both the power bricks.

Would I be fine with the current out put from the brick that came with the PC or would I need more power to use this card with my PC?

+1 on the Arctic Silver (5 paste) but keep in mind that a very thin layer with hi-tension coolers will not work well on these pc's. A thicker complete coverage is required.
