I have built a new rig for work purposes actually my 1st ever try.. I had a limited budget and I wanted everything to be new and box packed.
specs:
processor= core I5 6th gen 6500
ram= corsair vengeance 16 gig 2x 8gb
gpu= gigabyte gtx750ti 2gb
motherboard= gigabyte B15M D3H ddr3
psu= corsair 650vs
chassis= corsair carbide series 200r
SSD= 250gb crucial mx200
hdd=1 tb Toshiba

monitors= 2x dell 24" 1080p LED

I'm running windows 10 pro. i wanted win 7 but the processor box said tht it will be more efficient with win 10..
I'm actually very noob at all of it..

now the actual topic.
i am scared of it getting melt down.. see the chassis has 2 fans processor has 1, gpu has 2, psu has its own.. i actually don't want to spend more but only if its safe..

it gets very hot in summers so il have to pull it out of my work area and place it on the top I'm sure

are these fans enough?
and for animation and graphic purposes is this rig good enough?

You need a cpu cooler, as it does get hot in summers. However if you AC keeps your room temps bearable your PC will survive. I do recommend a cooler if you are going for longer rendering times and animation etc as that will run your cpu-gpu quite hot, depending on your usage.

Also you may not know but there is a known problem with ddr3 rams on the 6th gen skylake architecture (1151 architecture) as ddr3 rams with voltages over 1.35v can damage or even kill your processor. So I would recommend going with a motherboard that has ddr4 ram option.

Did you see the proc and gpu temps?

Hwmonitor can tell that...post them then we'll decide if it needs an upgrade or not...

since u have already bought the setup....change ur RAMs to DDR3L....or if willing to spend some more money get DDR4s.....
ur CPU and GPU are cool ones u wont have a problem.....2 fans of chasis will keep them fine....

This actually looks cool, il get this 1st then... Im now concerned about the rams... I thought these vengeance with heatsink would have been more than enough

they are enough if u pair them with 4th or 5th gen processor...but for 6th gen u need DDR3L or DDR4.....
6th gen processors can also have bending problems with some after market CPU coolers....i would recommend check ur temperatures for few days and then decide if u need one.....if going for after market Cooler than go for AIO water cooler, but i dont think u will need it
