Hello! I'm thinking about downsizing to a nzxt h400i and I want this to move my last upgrade (downsize) for several years. I'm looking to buy a set of 3 Corsair ml120 rgb fans, as well as a Asus strix gtx 1070 RGB enabled. I was wondering if there are enough fan connections to power the three fans I'm looking at. I'm also wondering if there's a way to get an RGB fan onto my current CPU heat sink because I don't really like the plain, black fan. Would I need to buy one of those usb 2.0 header hub things or am I okay with the hub that the h400i comes with? Thank you!

the fan on the can be removed so just find for a similar sized fan with clip mount to replace that basic black fan

3 x Fan channels with Max 10W per channel output* 
1 x RGB LED port support up to 4 x HUE+ LED strips or 5 x Aer RGB fans
Built-in noise detection module
*Note: If a splitter is used, fan control is regulated depending on the fan connected to the 4-pin port. Do not use low-noise adapters

from the NZXT site of the H400i so i guess you need those 2.0 header hub things 

<ul>what will eat up the stock Hub of the H400i
  <li>3 ML120 fans</li>
  <li>1 RGB Fan for the CPU Heatsink</li>
</ul>

yeah that will probably be the most difficult to search on
