My last gaming computer build was at the beginning of 2003 with AMD XP 2800+, Nvidia nForce 2 MB, ATI 2700 pro. Things sure have changed and now I am looking to build a completely new gaming computer.

I also need advice on which case/cpu fans to purchase. I would like to minimize dust which I believe lower airflow for the intake fans and higher airflow for the exhaust. I was looking to purchase 3x120mm for exhaust and push/pull on the cpu cooler and 2x92mm for intake.
