Case Fan

I have a gtx 1070ti and and in a few days i'll have an i5-9600k with a cpu cooler, 16 gb ram, and 1 ssd all on a mATX motherboard and I also have a 650W 80+ silver PSU.

My case is 400x400x185mm (HxDxW) and has only 1 fan in the front.,

Will my computer overheat or something? Should I be worried?

Do I need to get a bigger case with more fans or will it be fine? (I don't really have money atm)

What case is it? Size doesnt matter at all when it comes to cooling potential. It's all about how you can use it. If your case is built to provide good cooling, then the front fan should be able to pull in good air (though I would still recommend adding at least one fan as an exhaust in the future)

is already yours or are you buying it? that case looks like it only has air intake at the small opening in the front.

I have it

is there any place in the front except for that small opening at the bottom front of the case that can suck air in? because unless you use fans that is actually like strong enough to suck enough air through that for the entire case, i dont think enough fresh air can go in. Unless you plan to mod that case and put holes at the front(which is a bit janky but works) then i think thats a hotbox.

You should buy a Case. Only 1 Fan in the Front is shit.

The Temps of your Hardware will go up to an unhealthy degree.

There are decent ones around 50 Bucks, if you dont want spend much.

Yep, those holes are the only openings on the front

Any recommendations under $50? It would be preferable to have atleast 2 fans in the front

id suggest any case with mesh front, not glass or plastic. but mesh. im not a case expert so yea. wait for the reply of the others and what is your required space(is the GPU too big? is the CPU cooler short enough ect) so you need to take in to consideration the case clearances. check for the component dimensions before you chose.

You could just install the parts and see how the temps are before deciding on whether or not to change anything out. 

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/

That is what i will do. My current cpu is around 55C in full load, but the 1070 ti is getting even to 83C at max settings and that worries me. If the i5 9600k will be around 60C and the gpu the same it will be ok

Those aren't very low temps but still perfectly safe and seems normal. 

Which 1070 Ti do you have? 60c is probably unrealistically low for the gpu.

sorry I didn't express myself properly. My gpu gets to around 77-83 in full load, and if it remains the same temperature as now with my new additions i'll be satisfied

i think when you reach 83, it usually stays like that and starts to throttle down just to keep the temps low.
