the case is cheaper on newegg. Also id buy one or 2 120mm fan(s). the 80mm in the back for exhuast isnt that good. what are you ganna get, the one w/ or w/o the clear side panel?

I dont think you will need to buy a HSF for the CPU b/c the stock one is just fine. with the stock im gettting 38C on idle and i kno preator gets <25C and we have the same CPU(4200) and even under load it doesnt get higher than 45C. Also iv read reviews that you can OC to about 2.4-2.5 with the stock HSF.

ok ill skip the new heatsink and fan but should i get the artic silver five to put on the cpu. would i be able to put a 120 mm fan in the back even though it says 80 mm? ill probably get the one with the clear side panel and get some fans with leds in them.

ya you will be able to put the 120m fan on the back.

um as for wether to get artic silver five, i think the thermal pad on the HSF will be fine. just get it when you decide to OC more and need a new HSF.

ok thanks. since the case can only hold 2 fans can you help me pick out 2 120 mm fans to put in there that are good that can move alot of air that arent that noisy with no leds at all for right now.

this one is a littel expensive but it moves lots of air and can be adjusted easily

i have this one, its cheap, moves alot of air(but not as much as id like), and has blue LED's
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811998121
its also on the noisy side but not to loud. i sleep right next to it..

the case can have more than 2 fans.
1 on the clear side panel.
1 on the back.(but 2 if you count the PSU fan)
1 in the front
1 in the other side panel right next to the front.
