pretty good but I would rather go with an air cooler than a h75 or go with a 240 or 280mm aio like the h105 or h110.

It's uh... Standard? Typical? Nothing out-of-the-ordinary? I could keep throwing these terms out. Unless you did some amazing mods, your build is, for lack of a better word, a dime-a-dozen.

Which isn't a bad thing at all. It's just a pretty standard, well balanced build I guess.
