I have a question about cooling in my PC. I have a AMD 6300 CPU with stock cooler, ASUS 660 OC and a Single case fan. Would it over heat with its side panels on? Thanks

And I mostly use it for strictly gaming.

If it was mine I'd add another fan to make sure air flows well in the case... Since I don't know what size fans your case takes, I can't recommend a specifi size, but hopefully your case will accommodate a nice 120mm or 140mm fan. I especially like the Cougar Vortex fans for their quietness while moving substantial amounts of air.

The thing is my motherboard only has one 4pin connector for fans.

I'm cautious. I don't know how much the 4-pin on your motherboard is rated for. I'd be careful. It may be best to get a Molex - 3pin or 4-pin splitter and a fan speed controller of you need many more fans.

Start with one fan first, though. Make sure you get 4-pin fans if you want motherboard PWM and whatever type of fans your fan controller can control - many control 3-pins by adjusting voltage.
