are you getting a case fan, if you do, make sure the fan blows air OUT the back of the case, as this will pull air in across components. Most fans have an arrow on the side with direction of rotation and air flow.

Also , something I discovered. Forced air will not cool something bellow the actuall temp of the air... or in other words, even if you have the biggest fan in the world blowwing 98 degree air across your cpu heatsink, the heatsink will not go cooler than 98 degrees.

200 degrees is way to hot, you may want to get a liquid cpu / chipset cooler.
