My question: I have been told that I require extra cooling, and I don't believe that's correct. I was told I "need at least a better CPU cooler". But the CPU will not be and can not be overclocked (to my knowledge). I also doubt that Intel would let a shoddy cooler through with any of their CPU's although I may be wrong.
The GPU which comes factory OC and (which I may plan to overclock further in the future), comes with two fans of its own anyway, so I don't see how the GPU is an issue.
The case is small and not very desirable, but it should have adequate room for all of my parts. The only issue is air flow in/out of the case. If airflow were to become an issue, could I not simply remove one of the sides from the case, and possibly alleviate the issue?
Thank you.
(edit): I thought I would include the whole build, just so there's nothing left out)
