CPU - Intel i5 3570
Motherboard - Asus P8Z77-M
GPU - Gigabyte GTX 760 Rev2
PSU - Corsair CX600M
Case - Cooler Master N200
Memory - HyperX Blu 8gb
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Optical Drive - Asus DVD Burner

All of these parts are approximately $870 on Amazon, and I want to know if the airflow is good enough and if the graphics card will be fine. I just wanna get a new computer and want to be sure everything works fine :) thanks!

Also, should I get a GTX 760, Radeon 7950, or the R9-280X when it comes out and what version of it?

I will be using it mainly for gaming, recording, web browsing, and things like that.

Obviouslouy you get what you pay for, and fans are no exception, i've bought the CM 4 pack before and they're not bad for the price, very quiet, but don't move tons of air, the more expensive fans can move a ton of air, but it depends on how much budget you have left over. With a small case, i wouldn't get anything that doesn't move a decent amount. Here's some options to look through that should all be good, i would think the masscool 2-pack might be good for you, put both of them on the front and put the stock front fan on the side for the gpu...

But will the GTX 760 get enough airflow in that tiny case? I know the Gigabyte version exhausts a lot of heat out the side of the card and the case only comes with 2 fans.

I'd maybe get an evga one with the blower fan that actually exhaust the air out the back of the case, it might night be as quiet, but if you're going to run a high end card in a small case with few fans, it might be necessary. Or you could buy and extra fan to put in the side slot so it blows right on the gpu, that would help with the Gigabyte card.

I really don't like blower style GPUs as they are loud and don't last as long as other types (Dust getting inside, cooling is worse, etc.) so is there an alternative? EVGA isn't a brand I like either because of the style of their cards.

well, fill it the rest of the way out with fans and you'll be fine (expecially the side fan onto the gpu), when you have a small case, you need high airflow to keep temps down, with a bigger case, you can get away with less air movement

Do you know any good fans out there? I'm trying to stay as close to $850 as possible though for this.
