2. MJ could you post the link to that case with all the fans again, as well as a link to a bigger internal fan and some Arctic Silver 5 so I can add it to my Newegg Wishlist and checkout? A lot of stuff on my Wishlist has a promo code today.
1. In general, Corsair RAM has awesome ratings. If it's cheaper and has good reviews go for it

2. Newegg.com - XCLIO Godspeed Two Advanced Fully Black Finish 0.5 mm SECC / ABS Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases

Bigger internal fan? The case has 2 HUGE 180mm side fans and 2 80mm top fans. Combined with the fans from your video card, power supply, and CPU fan, you will have good airflow.

@steamwhistle: How many tubes of Arctic Silver would I need?
As steamwhistle said, one tube. You will be able to use the same tube on several processors. You apply very little paste.
