I have a decent knowledge of computers and parts, but I'm far from being in the know, thats why I'm here!

Picked up a 'buy these together' deal with these parts, from what I know it looked ok, but I was a little iffy about the CPU cause I don't know the name myself. I plan to get a new cooler because I've read that the CPU runs fairly hot, but I'm not sure what to go for. I also want to put more case fans in if space allows.

Please point out any issues with the setup,and if you have any suggestions or advice on a cooler, I'm all ears.

Thanks!

I'll definitely take a look at that.
Any particular reason they're not good? Too hot, doesn't put out the rated power, etc? Just curious.

EDIT:

I like that cooler, I was expecting a little higher cost actually,but I'm not planning on OC so it should work... Thanks!

Raidmax can't deliver their advertised wattage and the power they do deliver is dirty due to poor voltage regulation from the cheap components used to build it. For power supplies I usually stick with seasonic, XFX, antec, and Corsair(except the cx series).
