Hi All,
I'm currently looking at buying a new case and CPU cooler.

I'm currently using the stock CPU cooler, so if anyone can recommend a cooler that would be great!

I'm running both a GTX 570 and a GTS 250 (secondary monitors) but I'm looking to purchase another GTX 570 in the future.

When gaming my graphics cards both top around 75C which isn't great considering it's winter! My CPU reaches around 60C which I think could be improved.

I think my main problem is my case, the cases I have been looking at is the NZXT Phantom and Akasa VenomToxic.

Any ideas?
 
I don't really see your issue. All of your temperatures are perfectly fine. If you want a new case, I wouldn't put better cooling at the top of your list of things to consider.
 
Temps sound good to me as well. But I am a curious person so what CPU and case do you currently have.
 
Yeah, unless thats an AMD proc, 60 isnt that far off. Ive seen better of course but itll mainly depend on your CPU cooler.

For some suggestions anyway, the Antec Three Hundred is a great case for cooling in the lower price range. Got spots for 4 120mm fans and 1 140mm fan. Im getting some very good temps from my video card and CPU despite both being overclocked due to it.

For a budget CPU cooler, the Hyper 212+ cant be beat dollar for dollar. $30 usually and can run with the big dawgs in cooling.
