Ok, I've been overclocking and buying cooling components, etc., but I've been wondering how much space around my pc affects its temperature. Should i try to have it in as open a space as possible, or just a few inches on each side? Does it affect it much at all? Here's 2 pictures of my tower's current location--input would be greatly appreciated

Note: Don't worry, I do not use the radiator

Thanks for the advice
