Lemme give you a breakdown of what i've got so far
Mobo = Asus AN8-SLI Deluxe
CPU = AMD 64 FX 55
Ram = 4 GB kingson
Video Card = (Soon to be) BFG Tech 7800 GTX
PSU = Enermax 550 SLI
HD = 2 160 GB Western Digital SATA (to be ran raid)

This is the Case I ordered
Thermaltake Tsunami (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811133133)

I want to keep the system cool without running a liquid cooling system. I'm looking at replacing the fans on the case with aftermarket fans. I want to get fans that have a nice LED Glow (the 2 120mm and the 90mm need to match color). I'm wondering what Fans are reliable to go with. I would like to try to keep the noise down a little bit but not enough to sacrifice the proformance. Also do i need to replace the cpu cooling fan, and do I need a RAM cooling device? Sorry I'm very new to the world of building a PC. Thanks in Advance

Also wondering if you guys would recommend a hard drive cooling fan?

Given the setup what CFM would you recommend. I like that the Aerocool is rated at under 20 dBA, but it only pushes 37.4 CFM, while the Antec is pushing 70.6 CFM but at 36 dBA. Sorry I'm having to ask such basic questions I just don't want to chance the system overheating.
