How many fans / sizes would be a good idea to keep this cool?

Athlon II X4 635 processor
4GB DDR3 RAM
1TB hard drive
HD 5450 1GB graphics
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
 
The basics would do fine man.. You can get like after market fans for your processor if you want.. Also, extra fan case fans depending on what kind of case you get.
 
That looks pretty sweet. Put a blue fan on the side of it and your good :D
The plugs on top front might get kind of annoying tho, esp with a CD drive right below it. You'll open the CD drive and cables that are drooping down might get in the way, but other then that its good
 
Oh okay,
would i be able to move the cables into a way they wouldnt get in the way?
or no way to avoid it?
 
The case comes with 1 120mm fan, but I would definitely add another, either side or back. The basic rule of thumb for air cooling is to have equal numbers of intake and exhaust fans. So 1 intake front fan and 1 exhaust rear or side fan.
