Final check - Good setup?

Soo, finally getting round to getting a new PC and I just wanted to double check that my cooling is good to go before building :) I just need some advice on a couple of things.

Here's my PCPP-Link: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/G9MmQV

 

Seeing as I'm using Corsair's Air Flow (AF) fans (120mm, this Zalman case doesn't support 140mm apparently): Which direction(s) do I install the case fans for the Front which is my Intake and my Rear which is the Rear/Exhaust/Output..?

 

And this also was something I need advice on, the Cryorig H7; I've never installed one of those types of coolers before, only stock ones (lol) and just want to double check this but, what direction does it go?

I assume it goes this way (Below)..? Just want to double check :): Correct?

Btw I'm not overclocking but need the cooler due to other noise issues anyways.

So, the airflow throughout, should be good to go, right? I was gonna try for 2x 140mm case fans on the Intake on this case but it doesn't support 140mm :( Would have gone for 140mm on the Pro M Phanteks case but apparently that case isn't that great in terms of noise so I changed the case for this build to the one in the PCPP Link. Opinions?

 

Thanks all!

The side with the sticker on is usually the side air is travelling towards, but there should be little arrows on the fan to show which direction it will go through.

 

The image is correct yes.

Aah ok cool, do you mean arrows on the actual case fan itself?

And what about the cooler, direction wise?

 

I hope this setup gives good airflow and causes no issues :)

Yeah they'll be on the fan, usually on one of the sides.

Having the cooler set up the same as in the picture would be best for air flow.

Sweet :D Thanks man!

Yeah everything's cool :).

 

I'm just gonna tell you now that having multiple monitors will not make things more pleasant. Go and get a single 34 inch Ultrawide instead of 3x 1080p60hz monitors.

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

Ultrawide monitors are also veeery nice indeed but yeah I'm still trying to decide on the monitors atm, currently trying to decide between these options:

23" - 3x1080p@60Hz

27" - 3x1440p@60Hz < (Not quite sure if this size-monitor would fit on my corner-desk tbh, with other stuff sitting on it too, careful with this)

27" - 3x1080p@60Hz < (Not quite sure if this size-monitor would fit on my corner-desk tbh, with other stuff sitting on it too, careful with this)

Or as mentioned, a single Ultrawide (34" or similar).

 

3 monitors would probably be better for having Chrome and w/e open in the background when gaming but with one Ultrawide that gives better quality, I can't then keep Chrome open which isn't the end of the world but would suck tbh -_-. That and because some games don't quite support Ultrawide but some do.
