Rebuild advice wanted

[ejm]

I am going to upgrade my present computer using the following existing components

P182 SE case
Antec 650 Trio PSU
Powercolor 4890 GPU
X-Fi Fatality sound card
SiSoftware Sandra
WDC WD5000AAKS-00YGA0 (ATA) HD
PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-212D

I am considering getting the ASUS P6T-SE mainboard, i7 920 cpu and OCZ Gold OCZ3G1600LV6GK 6GB DDR3 3X2GB DDR3-1600 ram.

I will also get either the Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 or a TRUE 120 extreme cpu cooler.

My main concern is cooling of the mainboard. I would like to purchase any add on coolers now and save the headaches later.

Any advice would be appreciated on the cooling as well as other upgrades the would effect the system. (HD etc)

Thanks

It looks like to me that for all intents and purposes, you are buiding a NEW computer, not an upgrade.

But anywho, I would "guess" that if the CPU cooler than you mentioned is sufficient for your new processor and if you have sufficient case cooling fans at both the front and rear of the case, then I don't know what else that you would need ???

I wouldn't be too concerned...as wpshooter mentioned, as long as your case is not some cheapo brand and as long as you have a front and rear fan then you should be good.
