Part of the problem might be with myu current cooling system and case. Dell somehow managed to cram (what looks like) a full sized ATX into a micro ATX case. So its not just the CPU, everything else gets hot as well (GPU record: 120 degrees, which shut it down) so I'll start with a decent case and cooling. I would buy a liquid cooling system, but don't have the $. Most of the ones I have seen are >100. I have 370 to spend on a mobo, case, PSU, and cooling. Mobo and PSU are decided, but if you have an alternative case and liquid cooling system that fits my budget, I will be very grateful.

EDIT: Case change- the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119077 case looks like it will do better-way cheaper, sort of the same design, and everything else I need. More $ for liquid cooling.
