Cooler for build

What is the best air cooler you can fit in a midsize case? Also, I'm getting an Asus Rampage II Extreme mobo but I'm confused about how I would get a sound card it in, where the sound card would go, and what kind of sound card it needs to be (PCI or PCI x 1) If anyone knows anything about that, help would be appreciated.

Depends on the case really, most midtowers should fit the big air coolers. Sound cards are usually PCI (which is the same as PCIx1 I think). The rampage mobo should have multiple pci slots

What case are you going to get? Because it all depends with what your dimensions are. As for the rampage, the sound card will fit in the pci-e x1 slot closest to your I/O ports.

If you have a decent mid sized case, go with the Prolimatech Megahalems and buy a 38mm or 2 25mm thick fans to stick on there and you will get great temps. If you need suggestions for fans or coolers, Check out my guide in my signature or pm me for more help
