Hey guys,
So I'm building a new gaming rig which's specs are these https://pcpartpicker.com/user/GiggityGiggity/saved/#view=t2Prxr. The case already includes 3 fans but I dont think that this will stop that system from overheating. So I want to know which fans should I buy and where to put each for a better overall cooling. (More SP fans or more AF fans)
Thank you.
 
Solution
Use the stock fans or just add the one extra I listed your not going to have heat issues and the cooler you have listed will work just fine or get the darkpro 3
The cooling for the CPU and GPU are great and 3 case fans are more than enough to keep the air flowing. No way it's going to overheat.

The only way you're going to get better cooling is going with something like the Noctua NH-D15 for the CPU or using a custom water-cooling loop for the whole system.
 


So no need to burden myself with that right?
 
Your not pumping out a lot of watts to cool with that PC, I would just remove the center drive bay cage to let a direct flow of air in they come right out.

Then install one top rear position 140mm fan blowing out.

I would also go ahead and get a 2X8GB set of memory then you would be all set their for the life of the PC.

You also need to fix your monitor aspect ratio 16.9 is really the standard the 16.10 you have will probably leave a blank space when gaming.
I would either get a standard 1080p monitor or move up to 2K this is a good monitor for a lower price than you have picked and has the standard 16.9

That H5 is a very good cooler up to 160 watts

Well the monitor that I'll buy is the Eizo Flexscan EV2450, but I couldn't find it there. As for the RAM I'll buy an 8GB for now, but later on I may buy a new 4X2GB one. So should I get one SP and one AF to ensure that the system wont overheat? About the CPU cooler, I was about to purchase the Bequiet Darkpro 3 but it wasn't really worth it. Could you please recommend to me some fans?
