Time to start thinking about watercooling?

Hello everyone.

I am moving to a new house next weekend and the only place I can put the PC is in the 'Sun Room' which is exactly as described.

This will be a hot room and I'm worried that my PC will melt :D

Currently, I've got 4 fans and 1 aftermarket CPU cooler (Arctic Freezer i11) and idle temps sit around 35c and gaming wise it's about 60c depending on what fan profile I use.

The room I'm in at the moment stays fairly cool and I never have the radiator on.

So, how should I best keep my system cool in the volcano room in summer?

I have an InWin 503 case (which isn't great for cooling anyway tbh), 3 Apache Black fans (2 x front, 1 x bottom intake) and 1 x InWin fan exhaust.

I was thinking that it might be worth changing the Arctic Freezer to a fairly decent AIO?

The GPU is a GTX970 Strix so stays fairly cool.

Thanks.
