My current config:
CPU: Core i5 2500K @ 4.30 GHz.
MOB: Z68XP-UD3R.
RAM: Gskill SNIPER 8GB.
GPU: 9600GT.
PSU: Corsair VX 550.
UPS: APC 1100VA.
CAB: CM 690 II Advance.
HDD: WD Green 2TB.

I want to get max performance for max gaming. I am worry about temp. of sys & cpu. Now in ideal mode- CPU:22 & SYS:34. But when I play game it's reached to CPU: 48 & SYS: 44.

Please suggest me how many things I have to upgrade. Your suggestion is 1st preference.
I am thinking to change GPU+CPU cooler+SSD.
Anything else or which are must have to change first, pls suggest.
My budget around 25K.

One more things, how I can reduce my SYS temp.

Thanks in advance.
 
Temps are fine. You don't need to worry about them so you don't need a CPU cooler unless you want to OC. If you are still worried about your temps, check the airflow and keep the CPU fan at 100% duty.

SSD will not help much in gaming performance. So just get a good GPU, maybe a 6970, but you might need to upgrade your PSU in that case.

Once you sell your old parts you should get back a few Ks.

The rest of the config is fine.

What's you gaming resolution?

My current temps are GPU-40C, CPU-34C and SYS-33C, imagine where they would reach while gaming.
 
I am always use O.C. for my CPU.

Suggest a good & reasonable CPU cooler pls.

How to keep the CPU fan at 100% duty?

Please mention approx price of this GPU.
 
I can't help you with the cooler part of it. I have a CM V8, and do not know about other coolers since I have been out of touch.

Would suggest you google for reviews. Generally CM coolers are pretty good. But you need to make sure those towers fit in your cabinet.

You can put it on 100% duty through the motherboard BIOS settings or the CPU management software provided to you by the maker.

6970 costs around 21K.
 
To make the fan go 100% (not advisable, really) just get a molex to fan pin adapter if you dont have the relevant settings in the BIOS. The fan will run at full speed.

Unless his luck runs out, He would've upgraded before the fan dies.
 
budget cooler - CM hyper 212 plus (~ 1.8k)

better than budget - thermalright venomous x or noctua s12p (~ 3.2 - 3.6K )

Heavy duty - Thermalright silver archon or noctua NH-D14 (~ 4.4K)

Get yourself a 120 GB SSD (OCZ vertex 3 or corsair force or Intel SSD)
 
Cooler master 212 evo 2K

sapphire 6950 1gb 14.3K

Corsair TX 650 V2 5.5K

if still got budget then OCZ Agility 3 SATA III 2.5 Inch SSD 60 GB 6.9 K or else you can buy this later. top three are recommended by me.:)

Actually I will update my PSU on feb. 2012.

Now I am just think to play better game with GPU & obviously consider the heat problem.

One more things, I have just seen Corsair H60/70/80......?? What about those liquid cooling. r those better than heatsink&fan cooling?

As per my config, if I use higher series GPU, how much the total power will be consume? Will I have to change my PSU right now or I can still wait for two months.
 
Get an idea af what the old parts will fetch you, this will increase your budget and you can decide accordingly.
