Just a note, when buying case fans the option to buy according to noise levels (decibels) exist. If you choose the fans with low dBA ratings to install in a new box or replace existing fans in an old box you can reduce the fan noise significantly. But buying a box off the shelf with fans already installed don't expect them to be very quiet, unless advertised as such.
We all know which one you want.
If you go with Antec's Tri Cool fans there are three setting so you can adjust the fan speed.

Some fans can be adjusted by a fan controller switch on the case if the case come equipped with this switch, or you cab get a fan controller switch for about $20. ( knowing Sam maybe $3.00 LOL )
Also the motherboard will have control settings for the chassis fan, cpu fans.
That is the Asus Suite ll . It can be downloaded off the web but it comes with the drivers/ utilities when you purchase an Asus MB

Make no mistake LeapUP, that is one intense MB you have there, money WELL spent on the chip and board, IMO. Trading, 2D charting as many have said doesn't take much of a cpu or graphics card, but I believe a trader can find the limits of many processors by using realtime tick and volume data, using multiple monitors, multiple data feeds, charting math intensive indicators calculated on every price change and charting multiple instruments or expiration dates for futures. I'm tempted to post my cell phone number, and ask, when you hit that glass ceiling with your build, give me a call.
I need vacation soon. Vitamin D sunshine with a lime.Building a new machine is so easy you will be grinning ear to ear when completed.
Each time you do it such a rewarding feeling.
We are here to help . To aid in the build don't forget to visit the start of the thread step by step images posted and some really neat videos are there to also assist in assembling.
Feel free to ask questions that is the purpose of this thread, to help in getting that box up and running.

Sam, you have quite a variety here.
You may want to think ahead a bit and ask yourself what hardware you might want to add in the future, e.g.card reader or a USB 3.0 Front Panel Hub. The Antec Three Hundred has ONLY (3) 5.25" external bays,and (NO) 3.5" external bays available. But it does have some BIG exhaust fans, (might be loud).
The Cooler Master RC-430-KWN1 has only one pimped out cooling fan mounted in front, you'll need another fan in the rear of this case.
The Cooler Master CAC-T05-UW gives you (1) 3.5" external bay and 2 fans (1 front & 1 rear)
Of the cases you posted the Rosewill CHALLENGER, comes with three fans, several extra external bays and dust filters. This box gets my vote.

I had completely overlooked your post. Thanks for the opinion; I think you made up my mind for me
.Btw, I didn't know about the decibels thing. Definitely helps. Thanks again.
Nuff' said! And we appreciate it more than the few THANK YOUS we say
Anyone who walks away with a little more info, or possibly a direction towards needed parts for their machine, maybe a new build, is the biggest thank you to everyone participating and sharing their knowledge.
