Will This Work? Custom Build

the case probably takes 80mm fans so they should be 80mm, and try to get teh highest cfm without to many db's. (cfm is the amount of air that it puts through, db's are noise) speed sensored ones are great too becuase they will be quiete until the computer heats up then they start to speed up and get a little louder but still wont be too much louder.

well the 1.95 ones are quieter but the 3.95 ones have more airflow, so it depends on if you cna live with the noise, if you can live with it then get teh more expensive ones but if youd like it to be quiet then the 1.95 ones should be good enough.

yes everything you need is there, but you gotta be able to put on the heatsync. do p4's come with thermal pads? if they do then dont worry about it but if not then you will have to buy some thermal paste (such as arctic silver). If you dont then your cpu could fry really fast, dont go trying to start it without the heatsync or without any thermal paste\pad.
