New case needed?

[lincsman]

Hi there, and thanks for taking a look at this.
So, I have a 2-year old computer, and I added a GTX-770 not that long ago. However to save money I put all this into an old Antec custom case. There is only one case fan (120mm on the back) and when gaming the video card heats up to 80 degrees Celsius sometimes, and usually runs at 75 degrees. I'm sort of concerned that this heat will burn out the card sooner than later. I'm wondering if there is much need or use for buying a new case, like one that has a fan on the front also, or maybe even more fans. Thanks for your help.

Are there any slots for more fans in the case?

Max temp for the 770 is 98 degrees.

Still would get more ventilation going though.

Eh, that's well within the operating range IMO.

You could get a slot fan or something if you're worried about it, but personally modern fan profiles aren't that aggressive especially if you're using the stock cooler.

There are no extra fan slots. Might get a slot fan though, like a PCI E one or something

Does not compute. I think we were referring to the same thing

I think he means there are no more mounting points on the case for fans, and may get an expansion slot fan instead
