Do i need a case fan? if so how many?

[biebs12]

this is my build:http://pcpartpicker.com/user/biebs12/saved/tBjBD3

i was just wondering if i need to buy case fans or not.

You have no case listed so we cannot answer that question.

Also, get a cheaper 290. That one is $100 more than an equivalently performing card.

Sorry i completely forgot to add the case i wanted.. its updated now

No that case is enormous and overkill for the build and comes with plenty of fans. You do not need to add any at all.

really? someone told me that i absolutely needed a case size that big..

Nope, they lied. Your build won't run hot in any normal sized case with properly placed fans.

I do not recommend Apevia cases. They are cheap and low quality.

That case is too small. I have used it and it is VERY small. Your GPU will not fit inside.

NZXT H440 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/nzxt-case-cah440wm1 It has no optical drive bays though.




Those are some options to look at.

Look at the NZXT Phantom 410. Comes in black

The black Corsair 500r is also a good choice.
