Plan to do some decent overclock with both CPU and GPU. I did a bit research and seems like many people would recommend to put the radiator on the front as air intake, and top/back for exhaust. Now I really don't know how to install all these fans. The case itself comes with 3x120mm on the front, and I get 3 more with the cpu cooler, so 6x120mm fans total but the top of the case won't support 3x120mm.

What should I do? Remove one and just put 2 on the top? If so should I use the stock fan on the front, or use ones with Thermaltake? Or should I just get the 240mm radiator instead and use these 2 fans on the top? If so how do I install it with 3x120mm on the front?

I'm totally lost please help~

So the case will only take the 360mm radiator in the front, so thats where it has to go. I'd put that with the thermaltake fans in the front, then move the corsair fans to the 2 top slots and one rear slot. So air flows in through the front and out through the top and rear. This will get the most consistent look, and will be easy to do.

Looking at your budget, its seems 'large' to say the least. Could I recommend a custom water loop? It would not only give you much better temps across the system for overclocking, but it would look the best, especially in the tempered glass case. Just a thought
