I am going to buy the (*OVERCLOCKED* AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 955 Black Edition 3.20GHz @ 3.80GHz / Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P Motherboard / Corsair XMS3 DHX 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600C9DHX) Bundle on this website

What's the problem?

That bundle comes with a Titan Fenrir Cooler - one of the best on the marker, should keep your cpu nice and cool.

If you need a case and fans i'd suggest an antec 300 and a couple of noctua p12 fans

That lot should run as cool as a cucumber
(btw feel free to change the case fans to cheaper ones - the benefit of the noctuas is that they are quiet)

Cheers for the help much appreciated i was just worried that i may need much more advanced cooling but if the fan will work then thats much better.

I also was wondering if my current graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS) would be suitable with this bundle or would i need to a new one to run it at it's fullest potential?

With that setup + graphics card you will undoubtably limited by the graphics card. It will still play games very nicely i'm sure, but that CPU needs something like a gtx 295 before it becomes the limiting factor.
