So I have a PC that I built a few months back right now.
The specs are:
Q6600 @ 2.4 GHz, but will overclock later
8800 GT with a Zalman ZF830 cooler
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3
Coolermaster Centurion 534 case
Now I don't think the airflow of this case is great, and it seems poor for sound deadening. In addition I want to stop using the stock heatsink for the Q6600, so this is what I'm thinking about getting...
Antec P182
Xigmatek HDT-S1283 or OCZ Vendetta 2 (with the Xigmatek Crossbow bolt through kit)
and an extra Noctua 1200 RPM fan in addition to the one i already have.
Does this seem like a good purchase? Secondly, I'm not sure if using the top harddrive enclosure on the Antec P182 as an airflow tunnel with a fan attached will help cool my graphics card at all, especially with that Zalman cooler possibly pushing air in the opposing direction. Also, is there anything between those two CPU coolers mentioned?
Finally, if anyone has the antec P182 could you explain your fan setup. I want a quiet setup with optimal airflow through the case. Thanks for your time!

). Right now its fairly quiet but I know I'll probably become more aware of the noise as I get more sensitive to it.
). I may tempted to spend over £8 on one of the new Scythe Maru fans thought - 140mm fan and has mounting holes 120mm as well as 140mm fan (saw a thread on silentpcreview).
