I am wondering if I should look into using more fans, seeing as the Enermax case I am planning on using can support up to 3 fans. Also, are there any other changes, or any other possible issues with compatibility I should be worried about? Thanks!

The G46 can have issues with fx 8 cores. 

What's the system being used for?
