+1 ^ I wholeheartedly endorse the HAF 912. Comes with 2 120mm fans, one front bottom, one back top. Has room for another 120 up front, two on top and either a 120 or 140 on the side. Or you can go with a 200 in front and/or on top. Excellent cable management as well. About the ONLY...

Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start.

I've got the HAF 912, which is only 0.1" wider than your case, and I've got room for a Cooler Master V8, which is the same size fundamentally as the 212+.

I absolutely *LOVE* my 6300, and recommend it whole heartedly. (Well, not MY 6300! Get your own! :sol: )

I saw the thread title and was about to drop in and express my extreme dislike of the words "future proof" and how there really is no such thing. Then I saw all three of the responses already, and I have to say, they expressed it in a much more concise and much less ranty manner than I was...

Although in all honesty, this is really all you need: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rr212e20pkr2 The only reason I have a V8 in my system is because I got it on sale for $37, and the only 212 EVO in the store was an open box.

What CPU and case are you pairing it with? Are you going to OC the CPU?

My opinion is that is a pretty beastly system you have there. Probably not the most efficient in terms of overall performance vs money, but as long as you have the excess funds available, why not?

I'm about a week into a AMD FX6300 + MSI 970A-G46 AM3+ build, used the savings on the CPU/Mobo to pair it up with the PowerColor HD7870 PCS+ Myst Edition. Haven't really pushed it yet, but so far I'm loving it.

If you have 2 high end systems, have you considered running a virtual machine on one of them and installing Linux on that? VMWare and/or VirtualBox are what I use for that kind of thing.
