This is my 1st pc build and I'm not sure what air case fans to buy and best placement for the fans. I also want to replace the stock fans on the h100i cooler. I was looking to get the Corsair SP120 PVM for the radiator and the AF120 or SP120 for the exhaust fans? Thanks.

 

Intel Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor

Corsair H100i v2 70.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

Asus MAXIMUS IX HERO ATX LGA1151

G.Skill Ripjaws V 16gb ddr4-3200

EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 (SLI)

Samsung 850 EVO-Series 1TB

NZXT S340 Elite Black

EVGA SuperNOVA G2 850W 80+ Gold

just get air in, and have the top fans exhaust. the enormous holes in the back will take care of the rest.

Why replace the stock fans?

I did purchase the h100i v2 but I can return it if needed. Would you recommend getting an air cooler instead of an aio radiator and doing a push/pull config to cool down the dual gpu's? (af140's in the front, af120 back) I don't plan on watercooling the gpu's and worried about temps in the s340. If so, what air cooler should buy besides the nh-d14/15 if I want to overclock the cpu? It doesn't look too pretty in an all black case.

Not having a rad in the front would be better for unrestricted airflow. 

Returning the h100i and getting an air cooler would be better. 

Where are you shopping/located?
