COOLER MASTER RC-690 is an excellent case, capable of holding 7 120mm fans. It looks like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119137

Since OCing isn't that great with an Nvidia board, the Arctic cooling freezer Pro 7 should be a good choice for your cpu cooling. It is very quiet too, when adjusted right.

Thanks, does the COOLER MASTER RC-690 had low noise levels though?

Well, the fans are quiet, so I suppose it is. You can go buy more fans, then install a fan controller to monitor the fan speeds to your liking.

Sunbeam Rheobus or Rheobus extreme are good controllers.

The case will be quiet if the fans are quiet.

The case is always quiet.

The PSU fan is a concern though. Buy a PSU with a silent fan in it.
