You may want to add a front fan, the case is not supplied with one.

Also if you want to overclock that CPU to its best then you will want to include a CPU cooler, The CPU is supplied with a stock cooler that will be fine for normal use. If you do go for an aftermarket cooler then it will have to be less than 140mm in height.

The motherboard has 3 fan headers, one for the CPU fan and two more for case fans.

The fan that I linked to is PWM so it will control its speed depending on the temperature of the case.

which aftermarket cooler is good?
 
Have tweaked the build to reflect the updated budget, gone with a larger case that will be easier to work with and a better quality PSU.

Have not gone with a aftermarket heat sink as I don't think you will need it, out of the box performance should be good enough.

thanks m8 looks good. do you think i need a fan controller?
 
I don't think you will need one, you only have 2 case fans and you can control them using the motherboard.

If you feel you want one at a later date then they are not hard to install.
