New case and hopefully good cable management, Had to remove plastic part off the side of the side panel. Rad and screw hole didnt match up, so had to hot glue it in. Added 120mm fan to back so it would help pull out air from rad. Used dryer ducting and added a fan from the intel heatsink to the inside of the ducting and attached it to back of case the other is out window. Air coming in from ducting is sucked into PSU cooling it and the 120s above Blow air over card and up to rad cooling rad and card. Hope you all like Dont know if i should have made a new post altogether or not

Added new pics and changed to water cooling and i know the hole in back isnt pretty but didnt want rad mounted inside. Will be finding way to make hole look better and without the overclock and with out the air from outside it idles at 22c
