So I have some parts of my build already due to sales and friends but I haven't chosen a case and need help with configuration of the fans and cooler. I plan to overclock my i7-6700k and have a kraken x61 for it. I was looking at the nzxt h440 case but I read that the airflow is bad etc. But was wondering if that case is fine or is there a better one around the 100usd price range. I should say I am looking to keep things as quiet as possinle. If the h440 is fine how would I config the fan setup with the rad, but if you guys recommend another case how would you set it up for that one.

 

Here is my pc build I forgot to add in the ssd cause I don't really know what it's called.

Oh and I plan to replace the stock fans that come with anything. What would you guy recommend for the rad fans and the general case fans. Thanks

All good, no issues. You could save alot money on the CPU cooler with high end air instead of an AIO for still very good performance.

Basically, for any case that can fit a rad at the top, put the rad at the top with the fans blowing out and have some case fans at the front blowing in.

Generally speaking, cases in your price range come with good fans. There's not much sense in replacing them before you actually get to try them out.

A sieve may not hold water, but it will hold another sieve.
