You said getting a new 4930K, what are you currently running?

What voltage are you running at? Clock speed (overclocked or just at stock)?

Ensure your mount is good?

seems okay, the only need to worry is when temps go 90+

 

do you run with a closed side panel? or is it forever open.

Your setup is fine, just make sure the temps don't go crazy (which they shouldn't)

Specs: CPU: AMD FX 6300 Motherboard: Gigabyte 970A DS3P RAM: HyperX Fury 16GB 1866MHz GPU: MSI R9 270 OC edition Case: Sharkoon VS3-S SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB HDD: 1TB Caviar Blue PSU: Corsair CX500W

Throw another 140mm fan in the front. 

 

On my Define R4, I added two 140mm fans to the top of the case, moved the included 140mm fan from the rear exhaust to the front intake, and placed my H60 as a top rear exhaust. I've been gaming all day and my GPU just hit 52*C (I have the heat on in my room too being winter and all), CPU stays around 30*C. Just keep in mind, if you add fans on the top you'll hear them and more noise from inside the case.

(I've been meaning to work on the cable management, please don't judge me, it's real clean on the other side...and sorry for the shitty quality, my other camera wasn't charged so I used a spare iPhone)

You're running the heatsink fans the wrong way. the 140mm should be in the middle and the 120mm should be in front.

yes if you put your hdd in the bottom caged or in a 5.25" bay which and adapter, then take out the middle cage and move the front fan up you will have much better airflow for free :)

Cheapest?

Cheapest in Bizgram is 1077,cheapest in Pc Themes is only 1049 leh.

The bizgram cheapest only have 4 ram slots(Gigabyte X79 UD3),but the cheapest in PC Themes is (MSI X79A GD45 8D) which have 8 ram slots.But then MSI,dunno should trust it or not.I know gigabyte is can but for the UD3,UD5,UD7,Assassin 2 have overclocking problems due to low quality components used in the VRM section and badly coded BIOs.Some even say only Asus x79 motherboards can overclock both the RAM and CPU without getting problems.

Tradepac have 1072 for cheapest,is MSI X79A GD45 Plus which is just the 8D with a grey instead of blue colour scheme.

Best buy computers is 1059,also X79 UD3 from Gigabyte.
