I just bought a Silverstone sugo sg03 such a sexy case :p , after reading some reviews they kinda moan about the air flow of the case

well thing is I'm not building a high end system in the case its just a pc for older gaming and linux use

i3 3240 3.4ghz (ivy bridge)
ssd
gpu prob a 6850/6770 or at a push gtx 560

so I was wondering will the stock intel cpu cooler be fine or should I upgrade to summit like big shuriken 2 (cpu max height 82mm)

I have 2 different sets of noctua fans from other builds I can use for intakes
2 x NF-F12 or 2x NF-P12.

I know normally an I3 and a stock intel fan is fine but with reviews of this case I just wanted to double check with you guys.
 
It will be absolutely fine temp wise...
But - it'll depend on noise preference. It will probably get fairly loud - so you may want to get something a little quieter.
However, depending on your motherboard, that may interfere with the PCIe lane.

since you're going for Noctuas anyway, you can take the top fan off, use it in LP mode and reuse the fan on the front
