I'm going to be assembling a new PC in the next two weeks, and was wondering about cooling. Will the stock fans be pretty decent with these parts? Are there any replacement/extra fans that you guys would recommend? I'd like my PC to be as quiet as possible, but I may try overclocking down the road. Here are the specs:

Case: Antec P180 ATX

PSU: Antec True Control 2.0 550W

MoBo: Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe Socket AM2

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Dual Core Processor Socket AM2 Windsor 2.2GHZ

GPU: EVGA E-GEFORCE 7900 GTX EGS 650MHZ PCI-E 512MB

Memory: OCZ Platinum XTC PC2-6400 2GB 2X1GB DDR2-800

Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster X-FI Xtreme Music 24BIT

DVD: LiteON DVD R/RW SOHW-1673S

HDD: Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB SATA2 7200RPM 16MB 8.9MS
 
Thanks. I was looking for CPU coolers, as well. Or is the basic one just fine with AMD CPUs? For that matter, does it even come with one?
 
Why the 4200+ and not the 4000+ (same amount of cache, 200MHz slower) or the 3800+ (512KB cache, 200MHz)? The speed differences can easily be made up when overclocked (you probably won't feel the stock 200MHz difference at all), and you can save some money there.
