Ok I have another question, being this my first build I have nothing more than questions.

 

I have the case Corsair 200R for this build, this case has the SSD slots slightly below the frontal case fan, If airflow hits directly into the SSD which would be my case due to the place I positioned the SSD is it a good thing cooling wise? or is it something I should avoid and thus place the SSD in a lower slot out of the four slots?

 

Thanks.

It'll be fine :D you can even put it with the cables at the back of a case. I have mine mounted there where there's no airflow at all lol

You'll be fine. Cooling an SSD with a fan will only help it.
