No not really i just want a fan nothing like water cooling and i dont like water and electrical mixing anyway
The case im gonna have is a Thermaltake Spedo Advance and im not sure if it will supply enough cool air to the internal components its my first time doing this type of thing.

(-_-<) <(゚_゚<) ---Wait... Im sorry. (>-_-) Im soo Sorry
I am not sure if this is helpful to you or not, but I'll throw it out there. I purchased this processor last year from Newegg:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor - Retail
I am using the heatsink and fan that came with the Retail box and have never had it overheat on me. I do not overclock my CPUs so if you are looking to overclock, you will need something beefier to keep your CPU from frying.
I am also using an Antec 900 case, which is basically a black stylized 4 fan wire-mesh case, so that helps.
One thing to note about the power supply you choose, the wattage is not as important as the Efficiency. A high-wattage low efficiency power supply can give you trouble if you are building a gaming rig.
