This will be my first build that i have done where i am considering overclocking. I will be using this build for mostly gaming and photo editing and maybe a slight bit of video work. I would like this case obviously to run pretty cool, and also be pretty quiet. I already have a 1tb and a 350gb 7,500 RPM Sata drives.
