What size monitor do you have and what resolution are you running? What games are you running?

Your system is solid, and should run most recent games well at reasonably high settings up to 1680*1050 or so.

looks fine but one thing....

Where are those 3 fans...u dont want only exhaust.
Preferably u want front/bottom/side intake and the back and top exhaust.
Like that u dont have cool air coming in at all and ur stuff will gradually heat up
