Im getting a case with 2x 120mm fans one in and one out, and 3 80mm fans 1 in and 2 out. Is this sufficient for OCing? TY
 
That depends on what you're overclocking and what HSF you have. (And to a lesser extent, what CFMs those fans actually push.)

I'm not going with water cooling so these fans are good for now jsut need to buy the fans. Have a case that holds those fans. Which 120s should I buy? RPM wise etc? Wuzzy was telling me about a HSF i should get for my 3700+ san diago. Thanks in advance guys

What fans to get depends on how loud you want to go and if you want features like self-regulating or manually regulated.

I bought a case from a guy that has no fans but 2 slots for 120mm and 3 slots for 80mms. didn't come witrh the fans only paid 60 for the case. Bought 2 120mm Antec 3 speed 20krpm 120mm fans and am using 3 normal 80mm. The Antec fans i bought at a retail store so price was high $20.00 each. I coulndt remember the HSF that you told me to get but thanks I will order that also.
 
20KRPM!!

NICE! Must be a little loud though....
