Hello,

 

From what i read on the website you can place fans like this :

Front fan

2x 120/140 mm

Top fan

2x 120/140 mm

Rear fan

1x 120 mm

Bottom fan

1x 120 mm

 

You can go 2x 140mm front and 1 120mm rear that would be enough. I suggest Noctua fans because they are really good (chromax if you can't stand beige colour) and 6 years warranty. Less expensive but still nice are the bequiet! Silent Wings 3 with 3 years warranty.

 

For the CPU cooler the NH-U14S is good with also 6 years warranty or the Dark Rock 4 with 3 years warranty.

What are your current load temps?

Are you not satisfied with the stock cooling for any particular reason?
