I average 50-60F on idle, 60-70F with light loads, 70-80F with heavier loads.
I use a Hyper 212 EVO and I stay about 32 Celsius average

hyper 212 evo is amazing
overclocked my i7 4770k from 3.5 to 4.5 with it, keeping a cool 30 degrees Celsius / 85 Fahrenheit
and when i tried a h60 water cooler, got 50 degrees celcius / 122 Fahrenheit

I'm new to making computers

Can you guys tell me if I can improve on anything on this list for around the same price

dont need any of these if you get a motherboard that includes all 3.
most already have wired ethernet access, and sound. and many now have built in wifi.

save some money man

why do you need 2 different network adapters???
and that motherboard has a wired network connector anyways
the motherboard already has 24-bit 192khz hd audio, don't buy that sound card
that monitor has bad reviews (average 3/5), wouldn't go for it

other than that its alright

Or just buy a cheap USB wifi adapter if he doesn't get one included.
