Hey guys i am beginning to worry about the cooling of my pc once i get it. here are the components i chose:

i7 4770k, fractal design define r4 windowed, asus sabertooth z87, corsair vengeance 16gb, be quiet! dark rock 2, gtx 780(stock), seasonic g series 650w and another silent series fractal design 140mm fan for the front

So the temps in my country are 30-35 degrees celsius constant for the entire year (yes, i live in africa). So this made me really concerned. i wont overclock anything first of all, but im worried that will my dark rock 2 cool it and will my gpu stay in a good temp? or will i need to add some stuff or fans?

Thanks

With an ambient temp of 30°C or greater, yea I wouldn't overclock too hard.

At a guess, with a 4.3Ghz overclock, you would be getting too 75-80°C under Prime95 load on that CPU.
GPU I have no clue really.

I think for airflow you will be fine. You can test if your airflow is sufficient by stressing the system and monitoring your max temps. Then take the side panel off and run the test again, if your temps improve in a noticeable way, you have airflow issues.

Well actually i don't plan to overclock at all, its just a personal preference. So you are saying that at my ambient temps at 30-35 both will run cool enough. i mean 60-50 for the cpu is ok to me and even 70 but not alote and the gpu 80-70 is cool for me. So your saying im all good if i run things stock?
