Lol,
@ vaibhavs800 My Intel I5 2400 proc with stock cooler is going above 70c while gaming. I am Thinking of getting a Cooler to avoid any Risk...
But my bros Amd FX 8320's stock is very Good . The temp stays at 50 while gaming ..... I vote for Amd stock coolers vs Intels

Even an Antec Series A20 cooler for Rs 600 does better than the stock Intel heatsink cooler!!!

Guys what software you use to keep a check on the system temperature while gaming. I might consider that too, so that I don't damage something and install additional fans if the temperature is high.
Also please let me know, should I go for applying thermal paste for my processor? What's the procedure and costing for the same?
I'm worried about temperatures because my room temperature is ~35-38C and I don't have any AC/Cooler in my room. So, the computer will be placed in pretty hot environment. And I would be gaming a lot. So please let me know good options to keep temperatures in check of the CPU.

Thats an excellent cabinet in terms of cooling. It has two 120mm side intakes along with 2 x 120/140mm top exhausts. Cant get better as far as cooling is concerned. Make sure you buy the required 120/140mm side and top fans.
