But swap that case for the Sharkoon VS3V
I will just turn off the underclock on the 8320E.

poor overall cooling on the sharkoon. Your going from a 7 fan case to a 3 fan case.
FWIW the two stock fans in my R3 seem fine for cooling a 280X (internal venting) and Phenom X6. The front fan is behind a filter and because the middle drive bay isn't removable in the R3 (unlike the newer iterations) its airflow is more restricted.
An extra fan in the roof of the case would probably bring temperatures down a touch, but they're not concerning as-is and that would mean negative pressure in the case (so perhaps more dust would make it around the filters).
It seems the E CPUs are binned for lower leakage, which as a trade-off may mean less extreme overclocking potential.

Its no matter now anyway; ended up with the normal Edition as they were out of stock and for overclock was only going to 3.5 (the stock of the normal).
I will try and post some pics once its built, but will probably be a week or two.
