I am certain that even if I got around to closing the cover on this case, a full size tower would have more than enough cooling. At some point in the past I added dynex 520W ps, but I7-6700k runs up to 95 watts. I may build a sata raid of 4 or 5 plus one using 1T sata drives. The motherboard has power for 2 fans in addition to the CPU fan. I have not done any real processing yet, still building in the software and drives hardware. But current CPU temp is 30C in a room temp of 20C, 86F over 70F. CPU fan running at 600rpm out of 2200rpm. The power supply has a very large fan and if I closed the case I would look at ducting air for more optimum cooling. But in that all more recent hardware uses less and less power I do not expect any cooling issues. Now for the best buy in retale intel processors skylake I would recommend the I5-6600 retail box. It is 80 maybe 85% of the I7-6700k. It runs up to 65 watts, it is not overclockable. I never overclock anyway. The skylake also have rather decent built in graphics, but I have my own. But to drive a single monitor you really could just use the CPU based graphics.
