Is it enough Airflow?

Hello,

 

the parts for my new Computer have finally arrived:

 

PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/bWVcVn

 

I ordered 3x Corsair AF120 Quiet Editions to replace the stock fans, as i don't want any LEDs but i want them to be silent.

The Problem is that i didn't know that the 760T supports 140mm fans in the front and in the back.

 

Will those three fans provide enough Airflow for my Computer, or should i send them back and get AF140 Quiet Editions instead (That wouldn't cost me more).

If i cahnge them, will 3x AF140 Quiet Editions provide enough Airflow? I don't really want to install fans in the top, unless it really is necessary.

Do you have at least one exhaust fan?

Yeah, the two fans in the front will be Intakes and the one in the back is an exhaust

You should be fine.

Place the second Intake fan to the bottom if you need one HDD cage.

Blowing against the cage increases the impedance and decreases the air throughput.
