Do I need case fans?

Most cases come with a fan, or usually a bracket at least. I recommend at least one fan in the front, near the floor. This will pull in cool air and the higher fan in the powersupply will push it out. Spend the 8$ and keep your investment cool.
 
They lay it out pretty well on the amd site, down toward the bottom of the page......lots of other good info as well.

AMD

AMD's run hot, cooling IS important.
 
It all depends on what kind of cpu you are going to get. If you get a retail chip then its ok to have just one fan in the front of the case. if you were to get a cheap HSF, then you need a fan in the front and back. I would recommend getting an approved HSF and have two case fans, one in the front and one in the back. AMDs get hotter than Intels.
