Im getting a nikao x-blade atx case and i was wondering if my pc would stay cool or explode :/, my pc is gona have an AMD 64 3500+ newcastle core, CORSAIR CMX512-3200C2 DDR 512MB PC3200 CAS2 32MX8 184DIMM W/ HEAT SPREADER , xfx geforce 6600gt, 80 gb sata seagate hard drive 7200rpm and soltek k8tpro athlon 64 939 mobo, and THERMALTAKE TT-420AD 420W POWER SUPPLY DUAL FAN TEMP. CONTROLLED.

This is hopefully gona be used for gaming :)

If im missing any info or specs please let me know.
Also, a stupid question, but does it matter where the case is ? like if its near a window with cold air blowing:S
thanks.

If there are decent cfm fans that come with that case than you are fine. Look into how much the fans are rated for as far as cfm and dba. Noise might matter to you as well, I dunno. Yes it does make a huge difference in my experience where your tower sits. Lower the better and good ventilation to the front intake fan. In the summer if your tower is near an AC vent then its bonus to keepin it cool. System will game well for you. I like 1 gig of mem for gaming. :)

I saw the case. CFM=amt of air the fans push / dba= noise in decibels If you read a little bit on the reviews its stated that the airflow on the 80mm fans that come with the case are rather poor. No biggie though get some new fans with good cfm to dba ratios. http://www.newegg.com/app/View...=11-999-120&depa=0 This is one for example, but there are literally hundreds and its your pc. :)

Is silence an issue for you? If so get SilenX. Panaflo, Papst, and Nexus are quiet and push higher cfms than the SilenX's. Cant go wrong with any of these 80mm fans just depends on what you want to do. Many many choices.

I like SilenX. They are almost inaudible. They are pricey though. If your going to overclock go with panaflo's. That thermaltake was just an example for you to look at. SilenX does have led fans too if thats your tastes.;)
