Need Help Finalizing my 4k Gaming Build

I was wondering how I could keep SLI (stacked) GPU temps low in a mATX configuration without having to go to the watercooling route. I was also wondering which case would be better for temps overall. The Corsair Air 240, Corsair 350D, or some other mATX case. Also, is there anything else you would change about my build? Thanks.

If you don't put on the backplate your temps will be acceptable.

 

you should step up to the 450d and an atx mobo or get the gigabyte g1 sniper m5 and i7 4770k
