I have AMD 3500+ with stock cooler, X800 XT PE, and 1 GB RAM. Im looking for the best heatsink+fan combo, or seperate, but name them (not like pick your favorite). Also, Im gonna get the Arctic cooler for my vid card. Im gonna Overclock, but I want a cool pc, as well as a quiet, no airplanes in my room plz. Current temp: CPU idle- 20-25C, Load- 50-60C. System: 30C idle, and 40-50C load. Also gonna get the Thermaltake Tsunami (wavy door) case, cant temember model number, has 3 case fans, if anyone can recommend better, plz do so. socket 939 btw, and MSI K8T Neo2. Chipset: VIA K8T800PRO.
 
In your other thread you said
Remember, I'm not overclocking.

Made your mind up.

If you want a really quiet machine and have a few bucks to spare I highly recommend these cases:
LianLi:
PC-6070
PC-6070b
PC-V1100
PC-V1100b
They are completely silenced cases and they do a damned good job. One of my friends has this case, he packed it full of fans, and it was still so quiet he could only tell it was on by the front lights and ocational grind of his Raptors. Those cases are worth every penny though they will likely cost you all of your pennies :)
