Boom goes the old man...upgrade time!

patheos

So my friend came over a while ago with some awesome grateful dead cds and some other cds. I woke up and couldnt wait to turn some live music on....when to my dismay i come to find my monitor is dead and my water cooling took one another and final turn for the worse, it had to go. So i now have to figure out which monitor and cpu fan i need. I havent really looked at monitors yet but i had a scepter x22. As for the cpu fan an what not, this is an area i have almost no idea what to really look for besides how much air it can move and how loud it is. Anyone that recently bought one or any one with some helpful advice, i would appreciate a direction. As for the rest of my computer i have a 8800 GTX card, dual core processor, asus A8N32 sli motherboard, 2g ram.  Thanks in advance.

zalman are nice  9700

thanks. I can actually spend more than that if there is a better more pricey fan you know about.I forgot to mention it should be a socket 939 and my case is huge so i dont think size is going to be much of a concern.

what Dual Chip you have?

and unless your overclocking any $30 fan would be striat

that 9700 is ment to get a Chip from 2.6 to 4.0  its one of the best fans on the market.....and it is huge

My case is a Thermaltake armor lcs. My chip is amd athlon 64 x2, something like that. I dont overclock but my computer gets really hot, the highest i saw it before it broke was over 250 degrees. That might have been because the water cooling wasnt working as well as it should but 250-260 is hot in my book haha. How tall and wide is it?
