Hi Risingtide93,

What's your main reason that you want to build this computer? Do you want to play games on it? Or do you want to edit videos?
You must be more specific when you ask these questions. I'll be waiting for your next reply.

With Correct and effiecient air flow, you should be fine.

Always have multiple fans if your not going for watercooling.

How many fans does that case hold?

It's going to be for gaming...(Bioshock! *cough cough*:p)

Yeah. The case holds 120mm Fan on the exhaust, and the 140mm Fan on the intake:
Front: 14cm, 1000RPM, Flow - 45.58CFM, Noise - 26.91dBA, Current - 0.23A, Power - 2.76W
Rear: 12cm, 1500RPM, Flow: 59.12CFM, Current:0.23A, Power: 2.76W

I'll be adding an extra Aerocool Xtreme Turbine 120mm Fan. But I'm not sure where to mount it...on the exhaust or on the VGA side?

Thanks!

Oh yeah, I forgot to put an update:

The CPU has been changed to E6550 with Stock Cooler

The hard drive has been changed to Wester Digital Caviar 320GB.

Any better or should I stick with a Zalman cooler and E4400?

No, E6550 all the way! just later down the road you can upgrade the cooler. Looks like its going to be a very nice gaming machine

The 8800GTS 320mb will be a bottle neck how bout a HD 2600XT 512mb or a 2900XT 512mb if you can't afford a 640mb 8800GTS

You could just swap it for a P35/X38-based board as they support almost-Crossfire. They're also a lot cheaper and overclock like devils.
