I am currently working on a gaming PC Build and have bought a Corsair Obsidian 750D.

i would like to know what would be the best way to cool my computer? what case fans to use, or radiators?
I was initially planning on using 3 Noctua NF-A14 as exhausts for the top of the case. using the stock fans as front intakes. i don't know much about radiators, but if they will be a good substitute, i am open to suggestions.

Lastly, i was planning to use a Noctua NH-C14 to cool my over-clocked i7-4770K as it would provide a healthy amount of cooling. however, the physical size of the CPU fan is pretty big, and could disrupt the corsair vengeance pro RAM im going to use. is there a low profile CPU cooler i could use that gives the same amount of cooling capabilities as the Noctua NH-C14? Or any low profile 16Gb 2400Hz RAM?

Thanks in advance

Install those Noctua fans in the front because you need more static pressure there. Place the stock fans as exhaust. I reccomend for the front fans to install them oon the opposite side of the stock fans were attached to. You will get better airflow in my opinion. I have this case and those fans.

Buy the Noctua NH-D15 which allows you to use your ram. It is big but it will work with your ram and fit in your case.

Personally, the best cooling you can get is by using the Swftech h320 360mm all in one liquid cooler and put it in the top of your case. It will beat all coolers that you can buy (even custom loops to an extent). This would go on the top of your case. It is out of stock for now.

If it doesn't come back in stock. Get the Swiftech H220, the Noctua NH-D15, the NZXT Kraken x60, or the Noctua NH-u12s. The U12S works with your RAM and supports mild overclocks.

If you want to use the cooler you chose, just don't use the bottom fan, but I highly recommend going with what I chose.

Here is the H220 http://www.ncixus.com/products/?sku=79583&vpn=H220&manufacture=Swiftech&promoid=1114
