Yeah, airflow/cooling is important. My antec 900 case has a massive 200mm fan on top and 3 big 120mm fans (2 in front, 1 in back) and room for 2 additional/optional 120mm fans (1 on the side and another in the front).

I'll have a big 110mm pure copper Zalman fan/heatsink on the CPU itself.

Not sure if GPU or RAM will need additional cooling until the build. (Or if there will even be room left)

I forgot to mention that this video card i have is easily overclockable .
I would not even have tried, but with this additionnal fan on it, it may remain cool and stable i guess, as it is supposed to be without it . I will try soon !
The only thing is that it just has 256 Mb ram ... :?

Ah yes, overclocking. I plan to do the same, more or less with the CPU though and maybe RAM, although both are already plenty enough with a 3.2 GHz dual-core CPU and 4GB RAM. It's gonna be one hell of a gaming machine for under $1000.

FRANKY!!! HOW ARE YA??? And the E6750 is a 2.66GHz dual core... so either you mistakenly put quad or you got the letter/number combo model thingy wrong.

My new rig. Cost me $1,000, give or take 25 bucks.

I Couldn't get any good night/dark pics... everything in it is basically Blue LEDS, all 3 120mm Fans, the Power Supply, even the CPU Fan/Heatsink. I'm looking to add more lights to it. and another 120mm Blue LED fan on the side.
