Need Cooling Ideas for System

Hi guys, need a few ideas on this system for cooling fans and such. Not going to overclock this, but they do seem to run hot from online reviews.

CPU: AMD ATHLON 64 3000+ PROCESSOR S754 2.0GHZ 512KB L2 CACHE
Mobo: MSI K8N NEO PLATINUM NFORCE3 250GB S754 5PCI SATA 1394 SOUND 1000LAN
RAM: 2 x SAMSUNG 512MB PC3200 DDR400
HD: SEAGATE BARRACUDA 7200.7 200GB 7200RPM 8MB 8.5MS
Sound: CREATIVE LABS AUDIGY EAX PCI SOUND CARD 5.1
Optics: LG GSA-4082B 8X4X12 DVD+-R/RW/RAM 24X16X32 CDRW
Case: COOLERMASTER CENTURION2 18IN ALUMINUM ATX CASE 4X5.25 2X3.5 2X3.5INT NO P/S
PSU: THERMALTAKE TT-420AD 420W POWER SUPPLY DUAL
Vid Card: LEADTEK A400TDH GEFORCE 6800 AGP8X 128MB DDR VGA DVI-I TV OUT RETAIL

The Centurion 2 case comes with 1 fan IIRC. What should I have installed before I buy it?
 
A64 3000+ doesn't run too hot, and those leadtek coolers are nice and quiet too. Do you want a quiet system? If so, I'd grab a zalman 7000AlCu and replace the case fans with panflo L1A's. I don't know how loud thermaltake psu's are but I imagine it wouldn't be any louder then the rest of your system...
