I also tried adding a liquid cooling system, but apparently there wasn't enough room. Also, I am taking comments on my build. I went with the cheaper AMD, imo it is the best in the price range.

Looks like a prebuilt?

It should not overheat, but if they use a reference card, you might have problems.

Get an air cooler, not a water cooler for an AMD build. AMD boards get HOT and a closed loop water cooler will not cool it like an air cooler like a Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO will.

Ditch the HDD coolers. They don;t work and are 100% marketing BS for stealing your money. Drives DO NOT overheat.

PSU is poor quality. Change for an Antec, XFX, Seasonic unit.
