Cooler Master MasterCase H500 Front Radiator

Hello, fellow pc builders,

For my first build, I am planning on getting the Corsair H100i RGB Platinum, and planning on mounting the radiator at the front of the H500. Are the 200mm fans enough for the radiator? Or should I also mount two 120mm fans to the radiator? Also, if I need to mount 2 120mm fans to the radiator is it possible to mount them between the 200mm fans and the radiator, or would you recommend placing them in a pull configuration? 

 

Here is my parts list of what I'm getting/already have on pc part picker:

You should use the included Radiator fans with the RAD, as the 200mm fans do not provide good static pressure. You should be able to mount the rad and fan to the front while still keeping the 200mm fans, however it would be recommended to mount the rad to the top as exhaust.
