Thermaltake cases usually come with fans of their own (like 7) so don't worry about case fans, all you need is a good CPU heatsink (I'd go with a Zalman CNSPS 7000 or a Thermalright SLKU947U).

GA-8KNXP?? put some sinks on their power modules (voltage regulating MOSFETS)and put some grease under that N/B HSF for higher stability during OC.
