I recently found an offer for the 7850 in which you get three games with it, but it is PCs+ so the clock speed is increased. I initially only planned to get a regular 7850 so I didn't know if i'd need extra cooling for a higher clock speed.

I am planning to get a full tower case with four fans (1 rear 120mm, 2 side 120mm and 1 top 200mm).

Do I need to buy extra fans?

Both of those 2 has great coolers an give good Oc'n results, as for extra fans a lot depends on what your doing with the system overclocking/amount of hardware/size of the case/watercooling.
Post your full rig with what your doing to it an what it will be used for.

The case looks thou it would be fine for air flow, but from past experience with there case's i hated them so i couldn't comment really on that case.

Any of the 7850's on offer have sufficient cooling for a quiet system, you would be better saving the £20 and get a cheapwer model or getting a 7870 instead. You will only need better cooling on it if you heavilly overclock it yourself.
 
Ah ok, I was just a bit susicious because it was cheaper than the non-PCs+ verion I was looking at before and also came with three fairly new games. I was looking for the catch :P
I think i'll get this one because this'll be my first gaming PC so I don't have any PC games.
thanks for the help.
