I am about to build/buy a new system based on:
X2 4400+
2 GB of ram
Raptor 150 GB 10k cache
Powercolor Radeon X850XT 256MB
Coolermaster Centurion 532 case & Hiper 580W Modular PSU UV (or Enermax Noisetaker 535W ATX V2.0)

However I know nothing about cooling and what exactly should I get to cool nicely and quietly this system. The case has an 120mm intake fan at the front and a hole for another at the back.

Can you please help me on what else exactly do I need to get? Another case fan (and which one?), heatsink, card cooler etc.?

Cheers for any help
 
Cheers for the replies, I'll go with what you recommend.

Just to make sure though, by akasa amber you mean this one? http://www.akasa.co.uk/akasa_english/spec_page/fans/spec_ak_183_l2b.htm

also 2 questions about the vga cooler, is it this one Zalman VF700-AlCu (FAN-ZAL-VF700ALC) and would I be much worse if I didn't get the vga cooler? (I don't to play games often but will do some 3d rendering & video animation)

thanks again
