Just don't over clock at the moment and be sure to have excellent air flow with the fans in your case and you should be fine until the cooler comes in, or you mean you literally have no fan or heartsink for your cpu? What gpu did you go with ?

Can't wait to see it all put together! I also have not had a PC (well it was Intel) but after a loyal Mac user I went to go buy my niece a laptop for college and my 2011 MB pro is still as good if not better than what they are currently selling... Can not wait to see this build and get mine going as well! Best of luck bro! Looks like it will be a great machine!

Nice! I bought an arm for my monitor. Awesome. If you didn't have a corner desk like that a dual arm setup would really work nicely.

Memory not installed
