Do I have enough cooling?

[Biff Hardbody]

Hi,

I'm planning on a new system, and I'm sure about almost everything. One of the things holding me back is the cooling system. I plan on buying either a 480 or 550 watt PSU to power an Athlon 64 3800 and GeForce 6800 GT. I will probably OC the GT. All that should create some serious heat.

For cooling, I'm planning on buying the Lian Li PC-65 case. It comes with 4 fans, and is supposed to be very cool. Is that enough though? I'll have the 4 case fans, the PSU fan, the CPU fan, the MB fan, and the video card fan? But, I know some of this stuff gets really hot. So, should I be investing in something else?

Thanks for your time.

only thing id suggest is a pci slot fan that blows air over that GT of yours 19.99 at new egg, they are pretty too

It doesn't seem good enough, unfortunately.

If you ever plan on water cooling consider the full tower lian li cases there is no room inside the pc6x case for radiators etc...
