Since a certain PSU works for this build, I have to ask you if my build needs some sort of extra cooling besides the basic cooling every CPU normally has like stand-alone fans on certain components, processor fan, etc:

Processor: Intel Core I7 4770 3.4GHz
Motherboard: Asus B85M-E
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1333MHz
DVD+RW Drive
HDD: 2 TB
GPU: XFX Radeon HD 7850 2GB DDR5
PSU: Thermaltake TP-650PCGUS ToughpowerST 650W/ATX 2.3/EPS 2.91/80+ Gold PS

I'll gladly post additional information if needed.

Thanks for reading.

your processor is not a K chip. meaning you cant overclock. it is fine if you settle with a stock cooler. adding a better cooler ofcourse is better but it is not necessary

Do you plan on overclocking? If so, you should def get a aftermarket cooler. Even if you dont, I would still get a cheap cooler cause its still 10x better then the stock cooler. What case do you have? Thats the big factor of your airflow.

It is listed as: "THERMALTAKE CLP 0556 1150/1155"

I really don't know if this is the case or something else, since they didn't specify me the case model or something. I just assume this is the case.

What can you tell me about this thing?

Thanks.

WOW karma, you dont know what you are saying about overclocking. You cant overclock a i7 4770, you can increase its frequency and I don't want to get too much in depth but you can increase it somewhat. Its not overclocking though. I have an i7 4770 with stock cpu cooler and its runs at 40 degrees celcius while playing dota 2. Also what case do you have like karma mentioned. If I were you, I would just get another 120mm fan for your case.

Alrighty, looks like I need to ask about that case. But for now, they're offering me this cases.

Thermaltake V3 Black Edition
Thermaltake MS-I Epic Edition
Thermaltake V4 Black Edition
Thermaltake V9 Black Edition

Any of those cases are good to cool off something out of my gaming build? (I mean, I want my first gaming rig to be safe for a couple of years, you know...)

Thanks.

I would highly suggest a case with cable management. So it can look clean, and not reduce airflow. I have the thermaltake msi. And with a nic f3 cooler i have about 23c idle on i5 4670

I have not heard of that cooler model. Although it has the style of a stock cpu cooler, being its by thermaltake I would assume its still better then stock intel coolers.

Yes, but I have very limited parts in my country.

The only way is to get them from U.S.A and get them delivered to my country.

It costs extra from paying taxes, but since this is my first gaming pc, I'll just go with parts found in my country.

Finally, I'll finish this post by choosing "vince232", he noticed that I had a 4770 processor that can't be clockable and confirmed I can use my stock cooler to get my build working properly.

Thank you all for your answers.
