I mean as long as you have a cpu cooler and its not like crammed tightly in between anything. Just keep it in the open air.

What exactly is your goal here?

My apologies, but I am unsure of what exactly are you asking. To know if something is cooled correctly, seeing a pic of a mobo isn't enough. What matters more is heat exchange from the cpu, gpu and other peripherals and ventilating it out. For this, I need to see the fans and heatsinks involved and the case, if you are putting it in a case.

 

If this pc is actually supposed to be some sort of open air group of parts, that is not at all ideal due to possible issues of any dust particles, water vapor, let alone liquids that has free reign to get into your hardware. Test benching is one thing, but the issue is after a long time dust and other particulates accumulate.

 

So @warmerplace212 before I can make any thoughts or suggestions, I think I need to know a bit more of what you have planned.

You can find a cheaper case, so that isn't where I would put your cost saving measure. You can be more careful on prices of peripherals and look for deals through that. The most crucial aspects of a build is the mobo, the cpu, the gpu (if applicable, and if you have a specific requirement for functionality/specs), and the case/psu. The mobo and cpu is of course the core. The psu is needed to be decent enough, with enough wattage to handle all the considered components. The case is to protect all of the parts. If you have carpet, that is an automatic no to an open air build. Dust is something that a dwelling always has....

 

If you wish to be careful on cost... that would be more towards hdd/ssd, ram, peripherals, etc. Cases have such a variety, that I don't think it being that  horrible to just nyx the idea outright.

That is always plausible. Building a case is a decent approach. Leave some openings for the fans on of the top and sides and then you should be fine. Don't forget to use something to filter out the dust, cheap pantyhose works.

yes i was thinking like 2 or 3 fans in the front 2 or 3 on the top and 1 on the back but i was wondering if that is gonna be expensive to put so many fans in it because its nice to have some LEDs in it i like 

to have those in it https://www.alternate.nl/html/product/information/page.html?articleId=1152275&channel_code=110&ad_id=40079742356&s2m_product_id=TL9V6V17&utm_source=google&gclid=CJfr_arP2coCFUKeGwodLZMHyg but i look at the price maybe i should go for 120mm fans
