One of the best HSF is Thermalright AX478. Put any 80mm afn above 2200RPM and you are more than good. Obviously, use some AS3. As far as case is concerned, get an Antec case/powersupply. Although any case will do, but get a good PSU.

i have a p4 1.6a and i also bought a avc sunflower. however i kinda wish i just used the retail fan. the aftermarket fans are too loud. moreover, the p4's don't produce much heat so it may not be neccessary to buy another fan. my p4 temp is 28C using the avc sunflower. but i'm sure the retail hsf won't make the temp go more than 35C.

Another vote for the Thermalright, and Artic Silver 3. Yet, if you're not overclocking the stock equipment is fine enough.

Swiftech MCX4000 with any moderate speed 80mm fan (32-36CFM) will do fine.
