So my specs are:

CPU: intel i7 4790k
MOBO: Asus MAXIMUS VII RANGER
RAM: 16GB
PSU: Corsair 650W
GPU: GTX 970

and my CPU Cooler is: Zalman Extreme LQ320

Should I stick with it or change it? If I should change it recommend a good one that can fit in my Sharkoon T9 economy case. Thanks.

Are temps bad? Are you overclocking? I'd change that case. High end rig in a minimalist, cheap case makes no sense.

If temps are fine, there's no need?

How do I check them? And you say the case is cheap and bad, you've told me that before... Recommend me a decent case and I will put my rig in to that when I order it?

Define R5 and H440 always get my vote. Lots of room and look nice. We can't help without a budget and currency though really.

As for checking temps. CoreTemp is what I use.
