Hi propaganda. As far as length and width, you seem to understand ATX boards and cases. You might try purchasing a bundled mboard/processer with a fan and ram, or just find a board you like, then the processor (or vice/versa), maybe search for info on what you think you might like.
As far as the fans go, most mboards have allowed space for the heat sink fan (hsf), as the coolers have been getting bigger, and heavier lately. Case fans are up to you. Many are noisy yet move a lot of air. Placement of your box (computer case) is important also. I can drop case temps three degrees just by pulling it out the desk, and sitting it in the floor.
Do a search of the TFP, look above, on cooling. Their are many knowledgeable folks here who have offerred tips and are in the archives.
Most anything will fit. Cases and ATX boards are pretty much standardized. Good luck with your machine.
Gawd, I hope this one worked.
