best thing to do is experiment, turn the fan down a bit and then put the system under load and check the temps. If they are ok, turn them down again, repeat the process.Of course find the max temp of the GPU's first, you probably know these I'm guessing.
If your running at the native 24" resolution (1920x1200) the single 3870 won't cut it. That game, even being quite old is demanding, the CPU should be ok, but the GPU is deffo the bottleneck there.
Medieval II - Different RTS all togeather, not about building sthings as fast as possible, and overwhelming the enemy with vast numbers, more about classic battle tactics. Total War empires should be out soon as well.
