Hi there,

I have a few questions as follows:

1. I have just out this parts list together for a friend and I was wondering if there was any suggestions or improvements you could make to this parts list?
2. I am fairly sure that they are all compatible but it would be great if you could confirm this.
3. I have also heard that the GPU generates a lot of heat and you need a good airflow. What case fans would you recommend for a good airflow?

The parts list is as follows:

1) I would add in an aftermarket CPU cooler. Then you can overclock which is what FX series are really meant for. I would also get some SSD in there. It really does speed things up. A lot. You can get a 250gb SSD for around $100 (in the US at least).
2) Yes it all fits together
3) Pretty much any case fan will do. It doesn't matter what they are, just as long as they fit and you like them. If you wanted a quieter system you could get "silent fans" but really it doesn't make it much quieter. What really makes it loud is the GPU fans and the CPU cooler.
