I made a thread earlier about what parts to get but the thread is dead so thats why I decided to just make a new one. Here are the parts I'm getting.

Motherboard: http://tinyurl.com/ylaetl
RAM: http://tinyurl.com/yavhen
Processor: http://tinyurl.com/fho9a
Video Card: http://tinyurl.com/yhorj8
Power Supply: http://tinyurl.com/daebz
Hard Drive: http://tinyurl.com/nxuvq
Case: http://tinyurl.com/ajoly

One of my biggest concerns is that the case has 2 intake fans and no exhaust, I could easily change it or is it good how it is? And the biggest concern about the case is that if I close the front how will the front fan get air? Is there an opening I'm not seeing or something? In one of the reviews someone mentioned it pops off, but I don't really wanna pop it on and off all the time. Also are there more openings in the case for extra fans if I ever decide I need some? The main reason I made this thread though is to make 100% sure that the parts are compatable and bring out the full capabilities of each part. Please look at every detail to make sure it is compatable. I researched a lot and I feel that they are compatable but I need to be 100% sure before such a big purchase, this is a lot of money for me... thanks

EDIT: I know I'll sound like a noob but what dis the difference between a Mid Tower and a Full Tower? I;m guessing the size... I have a dell dimension 8100 is that a mid tower or a full tower?
