We all have that same fear. Congrats on the new system. That MSI Z170A GAMING M3 is a nice looking mobo. I like my Corsair K70 Lux RGB keyboard.

Nice job. I bet there is a slight performance improvement from the XPS..  You should make a mods rig profile. Not sure it's a big deal, but the fan on the back may want to chew on the wire. Might need a rearrangement. Enjoy your new build!!  http://www.modsrigs.com/myBuild.aspx

With the components used I'm surprised you stuck with the stock cooler though. Couldn't hurt to get something like a hyper 212 ego even for $30 to help drop CPU temps. Congrats on your first build, now now you must play Crysis... That's still a thing right?

i thought the stock cooler would be enough, but after seeing it reach 90c at %100 load i am quite disappointed in the stock cooler :/

The CM Hyper 212 is a great cooler for the money. I wasn't going to pick on the cooler you had, I thought it was doing the job for you. Hyper would look better too.

I think this should be in the mods rigs section so I'll move this thread there.

My only suggestion would be to get some cable ties and tie up some of the cables to make everything look more tidy.

Not only tidy, but like notfordman said, it keeps the wires out of the fans too. Good job!

Get rid of that stock cooler and tidy up the cable management a bit and its a nice looking rig.
