Hi Everyone,
A few years back I used this website to get insight on building a computer. The Spec's are below. My GPU started failing and it has a lifetime warranty so I will be getting a brand new one back. However, I was wondering if anyone could suggest some upgraded parts? Or possibly if it's time to build a new system? It runs great except the video card gets really hot even with the fan at 100%. When playing Diablo 3 it peaks out at around 100 degrees C. I run two monitors a 24inch acer and a brand new 23 inch Samsung. Since I built this I have been out of the loop. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
