Well I just parted with some money-
Lancool PC-K60 case (2x140mm fans on top, 120 and 140mm below)
ASUS P8Z68 Deluxe Mother board
8 GB Ram
i7 2600k
Seasonic M12 II 520W PSU

So nearly there. With all fans running full, it's very quiet. and moves a lot of air.
When I actually saw the pathetic stock heat sink and fan that came with the i7 I have my doubts.

@Marshall
48-50C on idle would bother me a bit. When I get my final few bits and pieces I'll test mine.

Just for info this is mine, Cooling is by a Noctua NH-U12P SE2. The stock cooler should be fine but the max temps would be much higher.
I tested it when the cooler was new and the max temps would stay like this all day
PS where it is marked Power Supply in my snip is where my second CPU fan is plugged
