General help

Hello, I was just posting to confirm that this build will in-fact work, This is my first build and I want to know anything from cheaper parts, to the amount of fans the the fan controller can take, wire length problems, or anything you can see, thanks in advance!

what cpu?

[ZexenPro]

the build works, but I would personally go with an NZXT fan controller.

[Nicholas15]

Ohh yeah, I already have that in my current build so I will be re-using it, its a i5-4690k

Any recommendations? Will all the fans even reach the front of the case without extenders?

usually the controller has 16" leads that they plug into

Okay, Is this possibly any better? http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/xHr4TW

thats perfect. I know for a fact that the phantom also has some fan leads pre-installed going to the stock fans that come with the case.

That one doesn't look like it has much circuit protection on it. personally i don't trust controllers anymore.

Any idea how I should setup the fans, I was going to put 2 120mm in front 3 120mm in top and 1 140mm in back, then throw the fans that come with it out, any idea how I could keep all?

you might want to keep the fans that come with the case, just in case, (no pun intended, jk all puns intended). I would push in from the two in front and the back 140mm, then pull out the top. And if your motherboard has 6 fan headers, I would control them with the motherboard. It depends on your preference. If you want to get really fancy, get the Corsair link commander mini. with it you can control fans, rgb led strips, and monitor temps in your case, all from your OS.

You may want to consider going with a monitor that has a higher refresh rate if you can find it. 

I dont want to spend like 600 on a monitor tho

[Nicholas15]

Fair point. It will make your gaming and workstation experience much more enjoyable. 

I see what you mean, Im thinking about sticking with the 1080p monitor I have atm and waith for something better to come out, what do you think?

[gergy008]

I think this will work.
