two 4 pin cpu fans and 3 four pin system fans.
8g is fine if your doing photoshop or video recording or game streaming look to use 16g of ram.

- 2 x 4-pin CPU fan connectors
- 3 x 4-pin system fan connectors
4 pins refers to speed adjustable fans. 3 pin fans can also be used on this slot .

This means you can have 3 fans for the cabinet and 2 for the CPU (since high end cpu coolers use 2 4 pin sockets ).
