Hello guys,
This seems like a nice serious community, and i wanted your opinion on this.
So, i upgraded my computer a week ago, my current setup is this:
CPU: Intel i5 3570k
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14
Motherboard: Asus P8Z-77 -v LX2
Samsung 840 (128gb) SSD
HDD: Raid (Seagate Barracuda X2)
PSU: Seasonic 750w
Ram: Kingston HyperX 1600mhz cl9 DDR3 4x2gb
GPU: Asus Radeon HD7850 (i get a second one in a week)
Tower: Corsair R300
I assembled the computer myself, here is a picture (i put a lot of effort into cable management, the cables stuffed below the HDD's are there temporarly because i am waiting on more hardware):

Note: the CPU fans are blowing towards the rear fan which blows outside the case, the front one sucks air into the case, the PSU is mounted so it blows out of the case, through the bottom filter thing.
I moved my pc from under the table to a more open area so that it has better air cycling and less dust.
I overclocked my cpu to 4.2Ghz (3.4 standard) and 1.3V.
So, when running really hardware demanding programs or games, i get high cpu temps of over 60c, the gpu reaches a maximum of 50-55c so i'm not worried about it, my main question is if my cpu should stay overclocked and keep running under these tempertures or my cooling is enough to keep it this way.
Idle temps: 33-40c (core1 gets the highest score while the other ones stay 4-5c below it).
Also i have one rear 120mm fan, one front (the middle slot, not the bottom one next to the hdd's) 140mm.
I am going to get two Scythe Gentle Typhoon 1600rpm's (might go for the lower ones actually if this will be too loud) for the top of the case.
TLR:
you have my specs, the way i built it, and a picture, here is a picture of a benchmark i ran with FluidMark, am i doing ok?

Thank you very much and please give me some tips on how to optimize my build, what can i add to improve cooling and airflow, everything.
David.
