Hey guys,

 

      So as you may know i'm building a computer and I was gonna buy some Corsair Airflow fans and my friend said they won't be enough. So I wanna get some input! Thanks guys so much!

You don't need that much probably maybe 1 or 2

The stock fans are most likely good enough.

your friend does not know what he's talking about your stock fans with the case will be fine, get the corsair ones if you want but the ones that come with that case will be fine

Unless I'm mis-reading the spec page for the case, it comes with top and rear fans but not front..? In that case, get 2 fans for the front. The corsair ones you chose are fine for this, though 140mm would be better.

missed that, yea no front thats strange =/ it will still be ok though, theres no need to buy the fans tbh, you could just move the top fan to the front when you get the case, but yea, i stand by my original post you dont "need" the corasir fans, they will help with airflow but they are not necessary

Very true. Can't really see a reason with that build to have any more fans. Relocationg the top will save you money and keep the system cool enough.
