OK, I'm building a system. I need to know if these components would be fine with stock cooling and only a few other fans. I want to buy a water cooling system, but I don't have the cash right now and want to wait a couple months. So, my system would be running for a while without much to cool it.

Leadtek 7800 GTX

AMD 4000+ 2.4 GHz processor

Western Digital 400GB 16MB cache hard drive

Asus A8N-SLI Premium Socket 939 Motherboard

Some 600W power supply

2GB A-Data RAM

Could this run fine without water cooling?

As long as you don't button it all up in a case with no ventillation, it'll be fine on stock cooling. Why do you think you'd have a problem? Overclocking?

Get the 3700+ instead of the 4000+ it's a lot cheaper and it's only 200Mhz slower.

It's cool to run with stock cooling as long as you have good ventilation and air circulation inside your case. Also keep the overclocking on the minimum like below 10% with the stock hsf. With all that it should run fine and cool till you get that water cooling system. :D

I want the 4000+, I'm sorry. So, if I left the side of my case open and shoved on a rear fan and maybe a PCI blower, this will be fine?
