Should I get 2 more fans?

Should I get 2 more fans?

Yo dudes, I have a question, I have a new PC (my bro helped me make it) and after building it, I've started watching Linus (it became my hobby) but my pc is already done, so I can't really do anything with my new knowledge. I already have 4 fans, and I have space for 2 more (and around 500$ bucks to spend). So my my question is is it good idea to add 2 more Sigma HP Corona RGB 120 (I already have them, and I would like to keep only one type). Pros: I would do my hobby, spend use my knowledge, have quality time, and my case would be cooler. Cons: 18.42 $ is a little too much for 2 fans XD. 
Thx for any advice, have a nice day my pumpkins!

(if u want this is my pc:
ryzen 5 3600x
1070 (rog)
16GB ddr4 3200MHz
b450 aorus elite
600W power supply
4 vents 120mm
120mm air cpu cooler
500GB ssd
1TB hdd)

18$ is actually not a whole lot for 2 fans, a lot of quality fans cost that much per piece.

 

With regards to your question, I'd say it really depends if those fans will actually make any diffrence to your system.

Sure the "cool" factor of populating 2 more slots with RGB fans is one thing, but there are scenarios where overdoing the fan situation and not thinking about the airflow can impact the temperatures in your case (for better or worse) or can make the system louder.

$500 bucks to spend? Just get an AIO and ditch the fans lol. Only really need to cool the rad... maybe the GPU 🤔 unless you go liquid too.

What do you mean "can't really do anything with my new knowledge" ?

Of course you can!

Once a computer is built, it doesn't mean it has to stay that way.

You can add more fans, swap the graphics cards, swap the CPU, motherboard...or go full custom water-cooling anytime...
