    Need advice on new build

    Hello!

    I am looking to build a new system for gaming at 1080p playing some of the big title games at or near 60fps (which is the max refresh rate on my monitor.) I'm looking to build this system in the Silverstone RVZ02B-W case but am apprehensive about the temperatures.

    This computer will be used in Vietnam, where the average ambient temperature is about 30C and sometimes higher. Humidity isn't too bad, and I will have a stand fan blowing at the case when I run it. So will thermals be a problem for a case as small as this?

    I would like to use an i5 processor and due to the high ambient temperatures, not sure if OC is a good idea, but my budget is about $900 to $1000 not counting OS, peripherals(monitor). If possible would also like to use Newegg as it's close to me and I can do warehouse pickup.

    The parts I picked out so far are:

    So I picked a few parts via Partpicker:

    CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($213.99 @ SuperBiiz)

    CPU Cooler: Silverstone AR05 40.2 CFM CPU Cooler ($34.99 @ Amazon)

    Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97N-WIFI Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard ($134.99 @ Micro Center)

    Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory ($29.99 @ Newegg)

    Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($147.88 @ OutletPC)

    Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card ($328.99 @ SuperBiiz)

    Case: Silverstone RVZ02B HTPC Case ($68.99 @ NCIX US)

    Power Supply: Silverstone 500W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular SFX Power Supply ($84.99 @ NCIX US)

    Optical Drive: Samsung SN-208FB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer ($20.99 @ SuperBiiz)

    Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM (64-bit) ($89.88 @ OutletPC)

    Total: $1155.68

    Main area is the CPU cooler. Are there other better performing coolers that fits this case? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    By including all vendors however i can make it cheaper while including an hdd and an aftermarket cpu cooler.

    I think the gain from the second list is big enough...
