This is my first build. Feel Free to post comments below. It is my first, so cable management was NOT my priority. There are
messy cables, but I do get pretty good air. If you want specs, request them below, as I am very tired at the time of posting this. I will be upgrading my graphics to a GTX650 and Vengeance 8GB RAM. So yeah, here goes nothing.

Good start! 🙂
You're right about the cable management though...
Not sure what exactly do you mean by "pretty god air"... you don't really have fans installed... at least, I could not spot them... At very least, you should put a fan on the rear of the case... - specially if you're adding a more serious graphics card...
The Intel stock fan is so-so... - curious about how are your temps...
Could not figure out the brand and model of your case - what is that?

RAM. My temps are 36C to 40C. 40C is gaming, and 36C is while I am running a lot. And by the way, you live close to me! 🙂
I would definitely get my hands on a couple 120mm case fans ASAP. Also the intel fan is fine, the heatsink is not. Since the LGA 775 days they have been getting smaller and smaller. Using my stock heatsink my cpu would idle at 45-60c, and that is in a controlled 70 F environment with 4 120mm case fans running in the 1000rpm range. In game it would hit 80c from time to time. I got a master cooler v8 cpu cooler($50 with shipping) and now I idle around 20-25c and rarely hits 60c in game. The in game temp purely depends on how demanding the game is.

UPDATE: Installed a Rocketfish 120mm Fan in the back slot. Also, I am building another system in about a year or two with tons of management
and organization.
and organization.
Thought things over, and I may just not build another system. My PSU is failing, so my upgrade plans are:

GPU(go to 680)
