Forgot to mention: On a budget of about $50... 

The case comes with 2 intakes and one outtake

In that case keep chasis fans on low and the CM Hyper 212 Evo will get you a decent overclock and keep thermals at bay.

So I'm planning on buying this, but I want suggestions on fans for the fan slots, along side of what fan to put on my I5-4690K.

This computer will be used for heavy gaming and recording, both on the same rig. 

GPU currently runs about 42C when recording and playing. 37C gaming.

CPU currently runs about 62C when recording and playing. 47C gaming.

I just want better over-all cooling for both.

Forgive me El Guapo. I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education...

Do you know if CPU fans come with thermal paste pre-coated and/or thermal paste packets?
