I want to know if everything will fit properly. and also is it possible for me to change the x52 to x62 and front mount the radiator, while still having good airflow.

also i think i need another fan? i honestly have no idea, please help

Airflow should be fine if you get the x62. Buy one more fan if you want even better.

Or buy 3 corsair quiet fans for top and back, 2 120 for the top and 1 120 for the back

You don't need it, but I would get it.

I would strongly recommend against a Crystal 460X

I have one, and it's a nightmare to work in. the space behind the motherboard tray is almost nonexistent.

 

Buy a P400S Tempered for $90, and get a HUE+ instead for your RGB. it gives you more RGB, with less hassle.

plus the fans aren't software controllable, so you're stuck with 7 colors forever. (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, White)

idk what a hue+ is

 Look up "NZXT HUE+"

It's NZXT's RGB lighting strips, which are software controllable, look great in almost any build, and IMO add much more to a PC build than RGB fans.

i feel like installing those will be a ton of extra hassle?

Not nearly as much hassle as building in the 460X

There's less than 1.5cm of clearance behind the motherboard tray.

even Corsair's own 24-pin cable from their own PSUs doesn't fit back there without a noticeable bulge in the sidepanel when closed. again, the thickness of corsair's 24-pin cable is thicker than the space behind the motherboard tray... so it doesn't close properly with a RM750X no matter what I do.

what if i just get the 570x?

Note: iknow nothing about the 570, i literally just googled it. also i still might get those hue things

I have no experience with the 570X, but it looks to be even less worth it.

I'd assume it has more room in the back, since it has a glass panel there, but one side is going to be against a wall anyway, so it doesn't really make much sense IMO.

I'd highly encourage you to go with a case like the NZXT S340 Elite or Phanteks P400S Tempered Glass, and then install RGB strips and RGB fans yourself.

fans that aren't software controllable suck. I can't make them do fancy things like breathing effects, can't sync them up with the rest of my PC, and can't even change their color to be whatever I want. only one of the 7 preset colors.

Now my concern here is will the 2 included fans be enough, and is it possible to front mount an x62

the two included fans should be more than enough, especially when paired with the two fans that come with the X62.

On the Phanteks website it says that 280mm rads are supported with front mounting, so yes, you can front mount it.
