GS600 is ok. Heavy cpu and gpu OCing plus too many power hungry fans might push it to the limit.

Thanks guys. I was waiting for your replies and was scared as hell.
As of now, I see no need to overclock the card.
Will overclock the processor to around 4.0 - 4.2 after maybe a month or two. I can skip that also as the processor is anyway good enough now.

I would suggest you not to overclock unless you need to. If you are getting desired performance on Stock then why overclock. Save Overclocking for later.

Guys, this is pic after playing Mafia 2 for around an hour or so.
The fourth core is running at 68*C. Seems it is a bit too much without any overclock.
Was planning to add a couple of fans to the side of the cabinet to cool off the CPU and the card.
Which one do you guys suggest? I suppose my case only supports 120mm fans.
I was checking this one: Cooler Master XtraFlo Cooler
Also this ones: Cooler Master Megaflow 200 RED LED Silent Fan Cooler, with 110CFM as rated airflow, But will it fit in my cabinet's side panel?
Please suggest guys.

68 degree is not a bbig deal, it is okay. For fan, I'll suggest you to replace the front fan with the CM Xtraflow fan, 120mm. The reason is the air intake from the front gets diverged because of the HDD caging and other wires present in this section and you need a fan with high CFM value to push as much cool air as possible so that a good amount of it reach inside the Cabinet where the main components are present. The Xtraflow can provide 96 CFM which is a very good value. Use the current front fan into the side panel into PUSh configuration as it will send the air directly to the GPU, keeping it cool. In the top I guess you're already having a fan in pull configuration to pull the hot air out of the box. Use another one into PULL configuration, resulting a PUSH-PULL configuration in the top. This setting will provide you best airflow over the main components like Motherboard (Northbridge and Southbridge Chip, CPU VRM area), CPU and GPU.

Cilus, man, awesome. Thanks a lot for the help. Will do that ASAP. Thanks again
Completed Mafia 2 last night and then ran the in game benchmark. This is the result:

Also completed downloading Metro 2033 via steam for free. And ran the in-game benchmark again. This is the result:

Will post some more benchmarks later.
