I think fans should be enough, if you really wanted to, water cooling could be something to consider, it's really up to you though. I'd say some well placed fans would be enough.

Ok, since you're going pretty much all out on your system, not point skimping on your cooler, especially if you're going to be OCing. Here are some good options

Zalman 97000 LED

Scythe SCNJ-1100P

There's a couple of others as well, but I'm too lazy to go through and find them all. Also, the TEC cooler from Vigor gaming seems to be very good, but very pricy.

Thanks I am looking through those now.

I'd say some good case fans would be a good bet. Not to mention a CPU cooler would be good too.

I like the Zalman 9700. It works well.

 

[Tuffie]

Okay then so I will get some good case fans...

But which CPU cooler?

Kent.

I personally like arctic freezer 7, but there might be something even better like the scythe model that can support up to 4 fans on it

Like I said, the Zalman 9700 works good.
