So I am struggling trying to find fans for the following build I am hoping to put together soon:

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/M8VzXH

and I need some case fans. I have been looking at Corsair AF fans because of the nice looks on the quiet/high performance models and the LEDs on the regular ones, but I'm not sure I want to commit to anything unless I know they're good. I've heard great things about Noctua fans, but I think the combination of barf tan and poop brown would match the rest of my rig too well, and I want my fans to clash a little with my case and motherboard. /s   But seriously, any advice/suggestions would be appreciated, and any recommendations for changes to the build wouldn't hurt either. 

 

Thanks!

8GB 480 and not NEX PSU

A monitor with free sync and 144hz if not too much

No need for 6600k. Get b15-/h110 mobo and go 6500 then you also save money for cooler

Cryorig fans? I mean the included fans with case is enough

case comes with fans, your fine

You through think two fans is enough? I will trust your opinion but it seems like at least one more intake could help. Also if I dropped the 6600k and used the money I saved by buying a 6500 on a cooler why would I need a cooler if it's  not unlocked and I won't overclock. Also I have no need for a 8gb 480 given the price difference for performance gains only in extreme situations. I have been looking into a freesync monitor for a while but am still looking. 

 

Thanks!

 

Edit: I changed the PSU to a 550 G2, I'm pretty sure that's high up on the tier list?

Do you need to OC at all, What are the need for an unlcoked 6600k? 6500 comes with stock cooler so you don't need to get one, hence I say save money for coooler (maybe I expressed that wrong lol)

Its mor than enough. Modern systems use very little power.

Oh I get it, I thought you meant put the money saved from the 6500 and put it into a better CPU cooler lol.
