Im building a new comp soon and i dont know a whole lot about computers but i do know that they get hot so im wondering if stock colling is best for this setup
i7 920
asus x58 mobo
gtx 275
6 gigs ram. Does it effect heat of computer?
im getting the antec 1200 chassis and ive read it good at cooling but i dont know if its enough
oh and i probly wont overclock, if i do it wont be by me lol but if i do what could i overclock it to before i need new cooling stuff if i already dont?
Thanks!

You mean the i7 920 right? I'd recommend adding a more powerful third-party CPU cooler if you even do basic overclocking, just to be on the safe side.
As someone told me in an older thread, the less sticks of RAM you use, the better, since less sticks generate heat. So get 3 sticks of 2GB, not 6 sticks of 1GB, if you can.
