I have no doubts that the video card will fit into the motherboard and case, as they seem to have plenty of space.

However, are you sure you want to waste $189.99 on a 9800GTX+? You can get a HD4870 with that money.

Well the link doesn't work, you'll have to cite each item. But to answer your question, my case has six fans in it, and they all came WITH the case or videocard/CPU. I honestly don't need any more fans. Before you buy extra, I would say look at what your case already has.Erik729
