Hello, and thank you for taking the time to look at this thread!

I am thinking of building a computer for my family and I, like a home PC, and I was wondering how well this one would preform:

It will be used for mostly gaming, not too hardcore, 3D programming and animation, and random stuff like surfing and Microsoft Office.

I would like to know if this system will:
1 - Be cool enough, I live in a very dry and hot area, it reaches in excess of 50 degrees Celsius here, so I don't want my computer overheating.
2 - Be powerful enough to run most games at mid graphics at least 30 FPS.

Thanks for reading!

You can feel free to change the NH-D14 for a liquid cooler or something else,but the D14 is equivalent to some liquid coolers and more powerful than some.
