So i am FINALLY building my rig very soon after waiting a year for BD... and im going with intel lolol.

SO anywho I want to get the Corsair 800D but this only has 3 Fans and by the look of the placement its pretty bad airflow.. granted its a giant case and it shouldnt heat up to bad. Im looking at putting a full liquid cooling system in it in the future. I really wanted to get the Corsair CPU water coolers but they dont make them with 140mm rads. and right now im getting the GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD7-B3 mobo with an i7-2600k.

Now I guess heres my question(s). What would be a good enough CPU to OC with? im looking at trying to get around 4.5GHz on air for now. Also I dont want it to get in the way of the RAM slots. I really like the look of the Cooler Master V8. How much would the air flow of this beast of a case aid to over heating? and also im looking at replacing the fans with other fans with green LEDs /nerd.
 
Cases dont overheat. They are made of metal and it doesnt matter. however, you CPU and other components are a different story. ;)

The CMV8 is a decent cooler and should take you to 4.5Ghz with little issue. Im just not a fan of the looks is all.
 
Do you think ill have any issues with the heatsink getting in the way of the ram slots with that combo?
