Are 3 fans enough?

Are three fans enough for a gamingpc?

Depends on case and components, and fan size. I have a case with 1 x 200mm and 2 x 120mm fans with an overclocked CPU and a GTX 970. Works for me. What fans, what system?

lc-power 649bs case

I don't like that case. It handles a maximum of one 80mm and two 120mm fans, none of which are installed, and the PSU in it is sketchier than I like. I would not use that case for that build.

Are there any alternative cases you might consider in your market? Most cases with PSUs are not intended for high-performance gaming.

I'm considering this Cooler Master Elite 431 Plus (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case

 

[DonkeyOatie]

That's a much better case. http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/cooler-master-elite-431-plus-case-review/ It will support up to four 120mm fans, one of which comes with the case. The review says that it does not support 2.5" Disk drives, if you were thinking of using one.

What PSU would you be using?

What market? Some Antec, Seasonic, XFX, and some EVGA, for a start. How many Watts?

OK, USA. This is an international board. I was not sure what continent you were on

This http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=9730665&CatId=1079 Similar more or less if you need a different Wattage.
