Phantom 410, Want to Stick With Colour Scheme and Considering Extra Fans.

[Cookie Crusader]

I want a red, white and black colour scheme and I am considering adding extra fans to my system and maybe ditching the stock ones. My pc is as follows:

Intel I5-4670k
Geforce GTX 780 Superclocked ACX
msi Z87-g45
NZXT Phantom 410
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB
Samsung 840 Evo 120 GB
Corsair H80i
Asus VX238H
G-Skill Ripjaws 1600 Mhz (2x8 gb)
Corsair CX750M 80+ Bronze

I was thinking on install the Corsair AF Series Led Red Quiet Edition fans but I don't know how many, and if I even should. And also I was thinking of getting the Bitfenix Red Extension Cables but I don't know if it's worth it, any advice guys? Should I do anything with the fans and should I add extension cables? Thanks. (I also will be overclocking this system.)

The case comes with three fans which will be plenty to cool this build. You do not need more fans.

Change that PSU for sure. It is average at best and made with low quality capacitors. An XFX 650w unit would be ALOT more ideal.

I agree with tiny voices about the fans, people over-fan cases all the time lol until you start adding multiple GPUs, cases generally stay cool enough, especially with a watercooled CPU.

About the cables, it's up to you if it's worth it. The 410 doesn't have a very large window, so you could just get a few of the mains cables switched, which wouldn't cost too much, and still give that pop of color. That's what I would do.

And yeah, if you plan on doing overclocking, definitely get a nicer PSU, like tiny said above.

Okay, thanks guys! The problem is though, my power supply is already here, and I want to know how to get a refund, should I just keep it or get a different power supply? Sorry, and thank you!

Problem with refunds, is you usually have to pay return shipping, and a restocking fee. It's up to you if all of that is worth it. You'll probably be ok, I just wouldn't go too crazy with everything.

The CX series isn't terrible, it just isn't ideal. I would definitely upgrade before you SLI though, if you choose to go that route in the future.

Okay, thank you all for your answers, I'll try and get a different power supply!
