Next time I build a PC, I plan to spend extra on hardware that can run games decently while producing as little heat as possible. My current PC is like a space heater when it’s running and it’s unbearable to play games on it for any extended periods during the summer months.

The only reason I went for an 80+ Platinum PSU instead of an 80+ Bronze PSU is to make it generate less heat (and the fact that the platinum had a really nice price at the time). Doing it for power savings isn't worth it, but getting a cooler case is nice.
