i can't wait to overclock this beast

I think I'll stick with my trusty ac 64 pro though. I just need some new thermal paste. What do you guys recommend?

Yay, my parts came from newegg today, just looked at the boxes, afraid to pull anything out and look at them. Wasn't expecting the stuff to come today, I had doubts about how quick newegg would be, but it was pretty quick, but I didn't buy a case yet, gonna go to staples and buy my antec 300 tomorrow. How well do you think I should be able to clock on my mobo with the stock cooling? I'll get something else in a few months probably, just for now whatever I get on stock voltages(hell, even stock) should be a massive improvement over my old computer.

The antec 300 is a smallish case for what you have. Get a bigger one. Try a large Midtower, or a Full Tower.

Really? What wouldn't fit well? I asked and saw people saying it's actually roomier than it looks and that a 4870 could fit in fine, do you see video cards getting much bigger in the next generation or so of cards?

Besides the CM is $20 more than the Antec and would require waiting more time for shipping.

How's it have better airflow? It has one less fan slot, and has them on the side instead of front to back, wouldn't that be better than in from the front and side out through one fan?

I would recommend cooler master 590. Ive owned two now, and for a midtower its hard to beat its airflow/value. Last i checked they were about $55.

Ive got three 120mm, and three 140mm on my 590 now. You can put another 140mm on it but my xigmatek 1283 doesnt allow for it.
