Hi guys,

I'm building a new computer with my existing coolermaster haf 932 case, but with new contents:
4770k i7 intel quadcore processor
z87-a motherboard
gtx 780 graphic card
2x8gigs 2400 ram (with possible upgrade to 32gigs in the future)
650w 12g gold 80plus seasonic psu
1 samsung evo 250 gig ssd as main drive
( 2 other internal hdd for storage)

Noctua nh-d14 as cpu cooler (huge and has 2 fans)

as of now, my coolermaster haf 932 has not been modified and runs all the default fans that came with it.... with the top/back fans blowing the air out, and side and front fans sucking the air in.

with this new, more powerful build that i will be installing into the case, will the stock fans be enough? or should i add in more fans? or perhaps replace existing fans with more powerful ones? or even add 1 more fan to blow air from bottom (near the psu) up ?

thanks in advance


*and a side question:
the new z87-a motherboard only came with 2 sata 6 gb/s cables... but since my previous build was 7-8 years old... do i need to replace any of the cables? for example, the cables connecting my 2-3 hdd, power supply, were always a mess... all those regular old school 4 pins, 4 pins to sata,cables for connecting each hdd, graphic card, cd-rom drive were always all over the place and inter-connecting, and sometimes have to be bent in a weird way in order to have the sata end of the cable facing the rightg direction in order to connect more HDD.... are there any cleaner, more efficient cables i could use? are there any cables i need to upgrade to run the new system?
 
Yes the stock fans are plenty what ever you put in the case, it has excellent airflow as it comes. The SATA cables should be fine very few low grade cables can not handle 6GB but they are few and far between. The new PSU should come with plenty of connectors so adapters should not be needed
 
but because this case has really bad dust problem... so i will need to put air-filter for the side panel, as well as the front panel... and both of these areas are rather large, so i'm pretty much forced to using the Panty Hose method... i tried blowing air with my mouth with and without the pantyhose, and there seems to be a huge difference in terms of airflow/ventilation... T_T

that's kind of the reason why i was considering getting new fans. =/
