Here's the build:
CPU - Intel Core i5-4670K - 3.4GHz - Socket 1150 – Unlocked
GPU - MSI GeForce GTX 770 Gaming - 2GB – PCI-E
Motherboard - MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING - Socket 1150 – ATX
Ram - Crucial 8GB - PC3-12800 – DIMM
SSD - Crucial M500 120GB
HDD -Western Digital Black 1TB
CPU heat-sync - Enermax ETS-T40
Power Source - Cooler Master Thunder B700 - 700 Watt
I've gotten this far mostly by thorough research on the various parts but I've hit a wall in the form of cooling. I'm also not too sure exactly what case to go for. I want to overclock the cpu and gpu as far as I can, which for me; means lots of fans.
I want to overclock the cpu to 4.6ghz @ 1.26v
I want to overclock the gpu Memory Offset by putting it on 350 MHz, this should give a total of 7.7 GHz ram speed. I've read it can be pushed to 8ghz though.
Unfortunately, I have no idea what type of case will best suite my needs. I know the case has to accommodate the fans and that the fans must connect to the motherboard. I know that some fans push cool air into the tower and some are best used to pull hot air out. I know there are different size fans for different parts of the case but it seems you're limited by the finite space on the motherboard; so you can't just buy ten fans and replace the walls of the tower with them Where to place the fans on the case for optimum cooling is beyond me.
The motherboard specs:
Internal I/O
4-pin CPU fan connector(s) - 2
4-pin system fan connector(s) - 3
I'm also straining my budget as it is, so a good value case is needed; function over fashion.
Some helpful insight would be much appreciated, cheers!
Edit: so to summarize, I really need to know what type of case I should get, what type of fans I should get, and where I should place those fans.
