I am building a custom gaming PC and I was wondering if this fan cooling is going to be good enough to keep the CPU for damaging. Also I don't currently plan on overclocking the CPU. Thanks you.

The first two items are the CPU and the fans

Yes, that will be more than enough to keep your i7 cool and will even allow for moderate overclocking should that ever interest you.

Hope I helped! The build looks great :)

The cooler is fine, but first of all what are you plans with your CPU. It won't be the best if you plan to do some serious tinkering but you can't beat the noise superiority of Noctua coolers. A cheaper cooler would fit as well.

Also, as far as your build is concerned, ditch the raptor drive and pick up an SSD and 1TB HDD. Crucial m500 and WD blue drive.

I mean for gaming. Some things he went way overkill on. The CPU could be knocked down to an i5 and the RAM to 8gb and he would get nearly the same performance. Use the money saved on that to get a GTX 780 or dual 770's and he could get much better performance.
