Hey guys, considering adding upgrades to my first build from back in 2012 which has only been changed once since then (GTX 680 to 980).
Current build:
CPU: i7 3770k
Cooler: Noctua NH-D14
GPU: EVGA GTX 980
RAM: DDR3 Kingston HyperX 1666MHz
MoBo: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200rpm
SSD: Samsung 128GB (Can't remember exact model, circa 2012 anyway)
PSU: Corsair TX650 V2 Bronze Edition
Case: Coolermaster HAF X
The changes I had in mind are as follows:
CPU: i7 9700k
Cooler: Corsair H115i Pro
RAM: DDR4 Corsair Vengeance 16GB 2666MHz
MoBo: Gigabyte Z390 Gaming X
My question is if there any any issues or other considerations to take into account before I purchase the components? One concern I have seen is that the HAF X case can't accommodate liquid cooling due to the design of the case or a similar reason? If this is indeed true then I would change the case as well due to the fact that the HAF X is quite cumbersome and hard to move.
