Poor photo quality, but pretty solid build! I myself have a relatively unimpressive build (compared to the $5000 monsters people have here), but I find it can still hold up to nearly anything (Core i3 4130).

 

Nice job! :D

You put that gpu at the wrong slot(sorta), that's x4 speed, move it up to the blue slot which is x16 speed

Looks great, although I would change that Stock CPU cooler ASAP, it's unbearably loud (Literally sounds like a leafblower but higher pitched). I have that same CPU.

HAH

 

You should see my build... No side panel, and the Corsair H100i's rad is sticking OUTSIDE because my stupid case doesn't support shit for cooling.

 

My PSU is non-modular, so cables are everywhere, and the 'organizing' of them essentially began and ended at making sure none are in the way of fans.

Congrats with your build and welcome to LTT!

 

I have the exact same CPU and would recommend ditching that stock cooler asap, especially if you plan on heavy gaming.

But other than that, nice build!

Good job man, That is an awesome for a first build it makes my first look like a piece of poop on a plate :P . Do not worry about people critiquing you on your first build.

 

I would love to suggest trying to tidy up some of the cables and it could possibly increase your airflow. Other than that Awesome job man, hopefully you post some more if you decide to work on it even more in the future :D

What cup cooler Should I choose?

I would suggest this on a budget, I love this cooler as it is cheap and it does a pretty good job cooling.
