Is Two Case Fans Enough for 3700x + 1080Ti?

So my system originally came with 2 case ones, 140mm in the back and a 180mm in the front. But since I've upgraded my system a lot, and I've seen people use a lot more in their systems, so is those 2 fans still enough? Or do you need any more info?

Depends on your case and your CPU cooler and GPU cooler. What are those? :)

PC SPECS: CPU: Intel Core i7 3770k @4.4GHz - Mobo: Asrock Extreme 4 (Z77) - GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 680 Twin Frozr 2GB - RAM: Crucial Ballistix 2x4GB (8GB) 1600MHz CL8 + 1x8GB - Storage: SSD: Sandisk Extreme II 120GB. HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB - PSU: be quiet! Pure Power L8 630W semi modular  - Case: Corsair Obsidian 450D  - OS: Windows 7

if you have a atx case probably yes. im not convinced that a lot of case fans make that much difference in cooling unless its small form factor

In 90% of cases yes - 1 intake and 1 exhaust is fine. I personally don't see any point in more than 3 case fans unless you're building a server

The CPU cooler is just the stock Wraith Prism

The CPU is cooled by the stock Wraith Prism, and the graphics card is a Aorus 1080 Ti.

That doesn't help much, sadly.

Those are a load of fans, that should help a bit.
