I just bought a new case a Lian Li 8nwx has two 120 mm fans. It says maximum card size is 290 mm? The motherboard I will be using is a Gigabyte EP45T with USB3.0. I assume the 480 and 5970 are out what is the newest card I could put in this case.
Heat issues would depend upon your case and it's cable management as well as the temperature of the room it's in. I'm sure a couple of extra fans will help, but by how much is impossible to estimate.

Ok lets build me the min/maximum possible rig for setup
Case: Lian Li 8nwx
specs: 19.30" x 8.26" x 18.50" (L W HT)
two 120 mm fans (front and Back)
maxium card length: 290mm
FrozenCPU soundproof foam psu silencer and two noiseblocker fans
OK let's build me my machine keep in mind heat issue.
Powersupply:
Motherboard: 1156 or 1366
CPU: I3 I5 I7
Ram:
Video Card:
Soundcard:
The rest is set
Would fan controller be a good idea if so which one?
What is the newest parts I could put in this case that won't cause it to fry or not fit in this case. What newer powersupply in 850-1000 watt range would be good for this case and not cause excess clutter because of so many connectors that majorly blocks airflow.
