What graphics card are you using? Have you tried just using the stock fans first?

i  havent purchased any parts yet. im currently going to use my rx 480 until I have the money in a few months to upgrade to a 5700xt. I could use stock fans but im just looking for recommendations on what to do in general :)

Arctic F12's for 120mm, F14's for 140mm

P12/P14 for AIO coolers.

Theyre cheap, near silent and provide great airflow. Downside to more asethetic oriented builds is that they're white and non lit.

 

For RGB I suggest thermaltake riings. You can get a 3 pack of 120's for about 55$. They're some of the cheaper but still high quality full rgb fans.

the benefit of them being white tho is , in the future if i wanted to invest in a bunch of RGB, i can get phanteks rgb fan frames since they are white. So thats a W to me.


Also to be frank, I am not sure what size fan I would need LOL im sure a google search would be fine. 3 intakes would be nice tho

The stock fans should be fine for that. I'd recommend using them first and deciding on whether or not to replace them afterwards. 

The money is probably better put towards getting the 5700 XT sooner rather than later.

Your case supports up to 3 120mm front fans or two 140mm front fans.

You could do 3 120mm intakes.

Considering Arctic F12's are about 9$ USD after tax, you could get all 3 120mm F12 intakes and a 140mm F14 exhaust for under 45$.

thanks man.
