	Picking a subpar case and adding replacement fans isn't a good way to go about it, better to just get a case with good air flow and space to start with. I would just stick with the config I recommended before (or at least use it as a base), it's better in pretty much every way, better video card, better case, better CPU (quad-core), and a vastly better CPU cooler for a much higher CPU overclock.
