I hope this is in the right category.
I am currently in the process for obtaining the parts for my first build and I find new things out everyday and am wondering if a fan controller would be recommended for my build.
I have the Lian Li K63 case with 2 front fans, 2 top fans, and 1 rear fan. Along with this I will get getting the Prolimatech Megahalems Rev. B with two fans set up in a push/pull configuration.

-PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371049
My first question is about the dual fan setup on the heatsink. I was planning on getting a 'Y' Splitter to connect both fans to the CPU Fan connector on the MOBO to run both fans off the one connector. I have read this will work just fine.
But then there are all the other fans in the case itself. What would be the best solution for dealing with all these fans?
-Will I want to go with a fan controller to plug them in and control them?
-If I go with this, would I just want to use it for case fans and let the CPU fans remain on the mobo?
-Try plugging them all into the motherboard, (which I don't even know if there are enough slots)?
-Or plug some in the mobo and other into the PSU, or is that even possible?
I guess I am looking for pro's and con's of different methods of dealing with these fans, and what might be the best route to take. Maybe I am asking this too early given I dont have some of the parts and havent really figured it all out, but would like some advice.
Thank you.
