If you have the money, get the 1200. But the 300 has more than enough airflow and space for what you want, and saves an extra 50 notes towards your graphics card. People queue up on here to praise the 300 and in it's price bracket seems unbeatable.
need a case for q6600

Well the Antec 300 is one great little budget case, but since your working with £100'ish; then I have no idea why anyone’s failed to mention >

Comes with enough fans for starter pc, screw less design - so easy to take apart for beginner and pro alike. Cooling is really good, and if you decide to go silly; adding just x4 140mm fans the 'air cooling' potential goes beyond some very ott silly priced PC cases, imo. So that’s £65.00, leaving room to buy a quality CPU cooler, instead of some el-cheapo that might let your Quad down when close to your target 3.4Ghz. I would suggest one in the £25 - £35 range of coolers, such as >

Bolt through kit's for the most part are very simple to use so don’t worry, far less hassle than **** plastic prong designs, such as Intel Stock cooler etc. Oh and the fans you linked are not great tbh, talking from experience I can tell you they are noisy and just don’t last well, think I’ve installed about 12 of them Akasa 120mm blue LED fans and only about 3 or 4 are still operational, the rest just gave up on life.
If your dead set on Akasa fans then I would suggest Akasa Ambers, a little pricey but the 9 in my youngest bro's pc are still going strong almost 3 years on.
