Hi guys o/ Im fairly new to PC building and am putting together my first gaming rig, im halfway through but im concerned about my level of cooling. However the wife will beat me if I spend more cash on this.....
System -
Phenom X6 1055t (stock atmo but plan to OC with new mobo) with hyper 212 cooler
Asus 6670 (planned upgrade to R9 270x which will totally fill the gap in case)
8GB HyperX RAM
Gigabyte GA-M68MT-S2P
XFX Pro 550w
Case is a nonamer really, here is a pic (apologies for messy cables, ill sort that out later today and have a tidy up!!)

Cooling is provided by 3 80mm arctic cooling fans on a controller, 1 at front at the bottom, one on the side at bottom and one level with the CPU at back. I generally run them at idle most the time and just ram up speeds when gaming or doing any heavy work.
Whats the verdict? Do I need to worry?
Options would be a Coolermaster elite 430 or something similar, orrrrr to save cash cut a big hole in top of case and fit a 4th fan there with a cover/mesh over the top?

) get 1 nice big fan. Larger fans are more ideal. They move more are with less power and are quieter. I hope that helps
