No nonsense approach to a good cooling solution

New to the site. I recently put together a decent gaming rig and am now researching the most efficient way to maintain low temps all around.

I have a photo of the case uploaded here, as well as my system specs in my profile, to show what kind of room I have to accommodate the cooler and fans. Thanks read more
