So would 2-140mm intake from the front panel, 1-140mm exhaust from the back, 2-120mm fans on the heat sink and no fans on the top sound good?

Hello~ I need some help on settings up fans around my new build. I'm using This Case, and This Cooler. The case came with 2-140mm fans, the CPU cooler came with 1-120mm fan. I also have 2 more 120mm fans and 1 more 140mm fan. A total of 3-140mm fans, 2-120mm fans for the chassis, and 1-120mm fan for the heat sink. I'm planning to install 2-140mm fans in the front of the case for intake, 1-140mm fan in the back for exhaust, and the 2-120mm fans on the top of the case. I know that a negative air pressure collects dust and it's generally better for a positive or balanced air flow. How should I configure the fans in my build? or should I move one of the 120mm fan to the heat sink? This might be a noob question.. but, what direction should I install the CPU Cooler, and what direction should I point the cooler fan to? Thanks!

Alright 550W SeaSonic it is, and is this the GPU you're talking about? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Z6BTwP/evga-geforce-gtx-1070-ti-8gb-ftw-ultra-silent-gaming-video-card-08g-p4-6678-kr

Thanks a lot for the detailed info and recommendations. I would definitely have lost a lot of potential performance per dollar if it weren't for the tips. I almost took everything you had suggested, but I swapped out the 1080TI for an Asus - GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8GB ROG STRIX Video Card, and the the PSU for PSU EVGA - SuperNOVA G3 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply. The price lowered about $100, if the performance difference will be not that significant I'm willing to make the change. Here's the Finalized List, I just want a final go ahead on the build, so it'll either be your build or this refined build. Thanks again.

Thank y'all for the tips! I will drop the patriot SSD and swap it with a 500GB Crucial SSD.

Thanks, to clarify sorry I meant that I will use the hdd to store everything else, I plan to install OS on the ssd. Also, should I get a m.2 or just an ssd?

My first pc build, also my first post on this forum. My budget is around $1500, I'd say anything above $1600 is stretching it for me. I took a build from Pcpartpicker.com and edited it, so this is what I came up with: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tXQYmq I will use this build as a gaming setup also my workstation, I will not be running anything too extreme on it. I have a 1TB hhd I took out from my old laptop hanging around, so I'm gonna use it as my main drive. Since this is my first ever pc build, I ask for the power of this community to help me pick out any issues with it. Please feel free to tell me anything you see unfit in my build or just any recommendation on the parts or building the pc itself. I appreciate all the feedbacks! Thank you!

First off, thank you Roccat for giving us the chance to enter this give away. I've always wanted a Roccat series mouse, and from the two shown, I'd prefer the Roccat KIRO, it does not only have a unique look to it, it provides customization, furthermore it has customizable colors TOO!!!! I would love to be the owner of this awesome mouse.
