Proposed build:

-overclocked 4690K with a Hyper 212 EVO or Pure Rock cooler

-ASUS Z87-Pro

-overclocked R9 390 or GTX 970

 

I want to build in a (windowless) Define S, which already includes 2 140mm fans. I'm thinking of buying 2 140mm Pure Wings fans and putting 3 fans as intake in the front and 1 fan at the back for exhaust. What do you think?

Yup, that's what I'm thinking. Intake through the front with 3 140mm fans and exhaust through the back with 1 140mm fan. All ModuVents shut.
