Final thought- What case fan?

Andivegito · October 9, 2016

Hello, LLT.

I'm here. I've finally brought my PC (Sorta) but I just have one last question about it before I order my last bits n' bobs.

Case fans. Fan case? ...anyways with the following build which I would like to think is not bad at all and was the absolute best I could squeeze out, my chassis although a cheap one can fit all components and instead of buying a fancier more expensive and possibly better case outright I brought a cheaper one for a better CPU and GPU.

To give an idea on that front I was going to get a 6600K and GTX 1060 but could then afford a 6700 and GTX 1070.

The question is, which case fans should I buy? Sure the case comes with one - only one - but I'd like some decent cooling for the case, I was thinking 2 fans 120mm fans for the front (No sure if I should re-place or add as I have no idea what fan it comes with) and one at the back for exhaust. thoughts? Oh and thanks a big o' stack.

For case fans, basically anything will work, but my picks are:

Non-LED Corsair AF120s for good airflow, and quiet.

Red LED Cooler Master Jetflos which are loud, but move an unbelievably high amount of air per RPM (you can control them via the motherboard so they're not as loud).
