So I am about to buy the Phantek P400S case. I am making it as quiet as possible as it will be on often.

 

The case has everything I need for a great price. But I was wondering whether or not I am gonna need to purchase more fans for the case.

 

I will be running 1 single 1080 (Once released) and my I7 4790k (Overclocked to around 4.4Ghz). I will also be upgrading my PSU to CM RM750X at the same time.

There will be no top fan's, I do have 4 Corsair AF120's, are they good enough? I have about £50 to spend.

 

Questions:

I have 4 Corsair AF120 Quiet edition fans brand new in a box, Could I use these in the case or should I buy new fans and sell the AF120's? 

 

What would the best setup be for the fans?

 

PS. Let me know if you need any more information I will for sure be able to provide it, and thank you for all your help.

cooling will probably be fine, and those fans would work fine, when it's set up test with the two it comes with, try it with 2 more and see what happens, but I would advise figuring out some kind of filtration on the front panel intakes to help limit dust build up.

Ok, will look into that, I can do a couple of stress tests to look at temperatures which will be ok.

Your current cooling is enough. Whether it's too loud or not is up to you.
