I would suggest a case thats atleast 18", the more the marrier! As for case cooling, I would suggest gettin 2 or maybe 3 case fans, maybe 8 or 9cm big would be good. Now as for the HSF, a CAK38, FOP38, Claciator, and SK-6 would be great!

I highly recommend the antec performance line of cases they are very good. I have the sx830 and I love it.

As far as cooling the 850 you really don't need one of the supercoolers(sk6/Swifteck). I have the same chip oc'd to 950 and my globalwin FOP 32-1 keeps it under 37C at full load. If you plan to upgrade to one of the hotter chips in the near future you might want to get something else though. If you don't plan on upgrading in the next 3 to 6 months I say go with a cheaper hsf like the fop 32-1 and when you upgrade there might be something better then the sk6 or at least quitter.

I have the panflow high output 80mm fans in my case they do a good job keeping it cool but there pretty noise.
