First build ever... main use will be Media Center + a bit of gaming, I want something that look nice and is silent in my living room...

I want to be able to game on my tv with a xbox controller AND use the PC as a media center with wireless keyboard/mouse AND game on my desk with regular screen + wireless mouse/keyboard

Do I need Coolant/Fans beside the basic one included with the case?

Some other parts which are equal or better and you can go with the 4570 to stay under $800 if you want.

It has 2 fans and you should change one to take air inside because I read that both exhaus the air.
