Miscellenious:

- 120 mm Case Fan - ?

Couple of questions I have:
1. Any recommendation for decent and cheap 120mm Case fan? The case I am buying has some good reviews (for the price). It as a rear 120mm fan and a side 120mm fan. As I am planning to OC my CPU to 4 Ghz and will have 4850 in the system (which I heard runs hot), I am thinking of adding another fan to the case for better cooling. Just don't know which one..

2. This is my first ever build. Any glarring mistakes? Any compatibility issues? I have already done a huge mistake by accidentaly buying miniATX case for my build and now have to resell it. So just want to make sure that I am not doing any other major mistake.

Any suggestions?

That's kind of a crappy mobo.

It has some good reviews on newegg. Any other good mobo suggestion in that price range?

Newegg reviews only tell you whether or not it worked the first time when they plugged it in, not about compatibility or stability. I'd take them with a pinch of salt.

I would have avoided that motherboard, and even though it's a decent inclusion in the bundle, the PSU is overkill. Personally I'd have went for something like the Corsair 550VX or 520HX with the Gigabyte P45 DS3L motherboard instead.

IMO this is a nicer and slightly better case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16811129042
