Seems still fine? Why do you want to upgrade at all?
Maybe get an SATA SSD for the boot drive and some bigger HDDs for media storage?
If you are interested in video conversion I think the Intel Arc A380 dGPUs are currently the best value for hardware acceleration of modern video codecs like AV1.
Edit: the Geforce 1080 might just need some new cooling paste applied below the heat-sinks.
yup, highlighted in yellow. Looks around a 120mm aperture, but check 'cos hey, I’m looking at a photo :P
Hot air rises, so you have this sort of cloud of heat hovering there from the CPU and the back of the GPU card - a fan will suck it straight up and spit it out the back of the case.
Thanks for that. Just to clarify, the case right now is this open, I’ve never had the side panels for this case haha. But I will get a fan for that place in my next case 👌👌
Even if open it’s worth considering - unless you literally have exterior airflow source blowing in the side, pockets are pooling. To give you an idea, i have roughly the same setup - granted it just runs a slack lamp - but i don’t even need a cpu fan, just the stock heatsink and the case is closed. Intakes and exhaust, unless you got a watercool chiller airflow, airflow, airflow is paramount.
(My main beast has a 250mm window fan plus intakes/exhaust, ambient temp is about 8c over room temperature even when thrashing)
