You are going to getting some intake fans and a good case with ventlation.

I recently upgraded my GTX 460 to a Powercolor 6950 and the case is like an oven even though I had 3 intake fans and using a decent case. I have to switch some of the intake fans to more powerful ones and I might even upgrade the case since the video card barely fits the case.........
The graphics card and PSU will transfer to a new computer and the hard drive runs @ 7200 RPM.
