Build Advice Confused on how many fans I actually need?

[arjitsawhney]

I am building my first gaming pc and really confused whether I would need more fans than that comes with cabinet(3 front 120 mm intake+ 1 rear 120 mm exhaust). Psu cooler would also be working as exhaust so do I need more fans or they would just be overkill with this build? I am thinking of adding a 120mm exhaust on top aswell or should I add 2 exhaust on top? I also plan on overclocking it later when I know what I am doing.

I added in 2 top fans for my build. I think it's good the way you have it. 3 in and 2 out is a good ratio to as far as positive pressure is concerned. Keeping the case fuller of moving air, aside from cooling also helps to keep dust to a minimum.

Do you want to have 2 1 TB drives because life happens?

Which power supply is that? I can't find much of anything about it. When you have a case full of components the power delivery system also needs to be high end. It sort of acts as a secondary surge protector and the quality units have many other safety features, not to mention build quality.

Where are you discharging the cpu cooler exhaust?

Using stock air cooler so I don't know where that would be discharging air, most probably inside.

Did some changes as suggested by you. But moved from m.2 nvme to sata 3 for cost cutting 😅 how it now? Anymore changes required?

I am using 5 fans and I get pretty good cooling

 

[aquielisunari]

I'm not seeing a need for a 750W PSU. A 550W PSU is what I recommend.

What's the pricing like for the 580? Have you considered the 1660Ti or the 2060?

OK sorry I assumed your cooling was a water cooler and wanted to know where the exhaust was.
