Hey guys, I decided recently that I want to upgrade my computer to a level where it’ll last me another couple of years of gaming and the like. Here’s a list of everything I’m getting for it:  
[Motherboard](http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128387)  
[CPU](http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103674)  
[Power supply](http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371007)  
[Hard drive](http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136320)  
[External hard drive](http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136176)  
When I showed this to my friend he recommended I get a new chassis for heat issues. Right now I’m running a 3.8 single core processor, so the 3.2 quad will definitely up the temperature. Do you think it’s necessary to get a case with better air flow? (My case right now has 2 fans, and a spot for a third.) Also, if you notice anything else in the list that you think needs fixing, please let me know!
