I dont think so...

4.5 mhz 4 cores shouldnt bottleneck but, im not a expert so maybe but i havent noticed anything

I prefer putting them in the front of my case to create a positive airflow, if you have HDD cages and such obstructing your front fans you might want to go with static pressure fans, if you can remove them airflow ones work great.

As of size, get 140mm if you can fit them.

Why do you want noctuas? I'd save money for a better cpu before i buy anything else

Don't buy Windows 7 Ultimate, just a cheap copy of Windows 7 or 8 and wait for the free upgrade to 10.

 

For the cooling, I suggest you get a CPU cooler for you OC and equip it with 2 fans, 1 pushing air on one side and the other pulling it out on the other and direct the exaust to the back end of the case. Then get 2 or 3 case fans and place 1 on the back of the case, so it pushes the air from the CPU cooler out of the case, then get 1 case fan on top of the case, so it provides air right in front of the CPU cooler and 1 fan in the front of the case, so it pushes additional air for the CPU cooler and the GPU.

This might not be the best way to do it, but it's exactly how I have it setup and it works quite well.

Make sure to FILTER YOUR INTAKES!

 

I highly suggest you use at least 3 case fans, but if you really can't use 3 and only use 2, get 2 intakes and no outtake.

Nope, it is an FX CPU, so the IPC is pretty bad. There isn't a huge reason to get more fans, as it won't perform better or be much quieter. I would wait to upgrade until you can get an i5 like the 4460 and a b85 motherboard.
