Cooling input

[dutnguye]

Well, i just built my rig and after i clock up my cpu to 2.8, i think i should get more cooling for it. Right now, the machine is not even warm but to protect my computer, a little investment in it is justified for me.
So i'm thinking of getting a Zalman CNPS7700-Copper for my cpu, a Artic Cooling NV silencer 5 Rev 3 for my video card which happens to be an Asus 7800gt, and probably a 120mm fan to put in the front of my case (antec sonata)

So i need inputs from the members here to see if it will help my cooling and it will be compatiable. I check on zalman website and my mobo the Asus a8n-e is compatiable w/ the cpu cooler, but i'm worry about the size of it and whether my small case is big enough for these.

Thanks

A 120 intake fan is your call. I put my fans on a Sunbeam rheobus and favor 38mm thick fans.

For your CPU, go with the best-bang-for-the-buck, XP-90 retail, it's $32 at Jab-Tech.

For your graphics card, go with a Zalman 700 in copper or copper/aluminum hybred about $32.

This will be a long lasting, easy to install and clean set-up.
