Flash player movies and indexing are tasks that share a very high CPU
activity (just run "top" and press "C" to sort the processes which are
more CPU intensive).
And your micro is a "little monster" that has a TDP of 130W, which means
you need a very good heat sink and cooler to keep it at the recommended
(and stable) temperature all the time.
Besides, the rest of your components seems to be very powerful (i.e.,
VGA) and well, all of them require to be properly cooled (also hards
disks and having 4 units running continously generate heat inside the
computer case).
Put as many coolers as the case and mainboard allows to be attached on
and be sure the cooler of the microprocessor is capable to blow the
required airflow to keep it at stable temperatures.
I have assembled many computers and one of the things I care much about
is "heat". Second is "noise", but I agree I'm a bit maniathic on that
point :-)
You can also make some tests leaving the computer running from a LiveCD
and performing "stress tests" (like this¹) to see how the system behaves.
