Got passed down some parts and looking for some parts

Specs:

MSI P55-GD65 motherboard
6 gigs Patriot Sector 7 ddr3 1600 mhz (only using 2 gigs until I get a new triple channel motherboard)
i5-680 Processor (4M Cache, 3.60 GHz)
HD5770 1gig GDDR5 video card


Looking for recommendations for CPU fans and cases

Currently for cases. I'm close to buying this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139009&ignorebbr=1

Almost all the CPU fans have some shitty reviews so looking for some recommendations. So far, I'm looking at getting this:

Let me know!

CPU cooler is fine...get this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352048&cm_re=fractal_define_r5-_-11-352-048-_-Product


...and use 4GB RAM in dual channel board, until you get another board.

You may have to remove the huge side fan to fit the Hyper 212 EVO....and, the Fractal Case is a better case.

I've been reading the side fan just blows air in...not sure how true that is..

any specific reasoning why its better? they both look great, except that ive read better reviews for the corsair
