Questions before buying Rx 480

[shadowknife0]

Alright so you guys told me that my specs are good for the Rx 480

And I have decided to go with MSI gaming X version (Since it has the best cooling)

I have a few questions when I get the card:

(1) Should I get rosewill long life sleeve case fans?

More cooling just to be safe .

I currently have 2 or 3 fans which came with the case (3 years ago)
Zalman Z12 plus.

(2) Should I also buy a new PSU ?
Mine is 3-4 years old seasonic ii 520w bronze (still works fine)

Psu will be fine unless you are running some multi cpu setup that uses 16+ core xeons 😛 or have 10+ hdd in your case. As long as you clean out your pc every year and the fans are in stock position on that case then it's going to be just fine.

Am only using it for gaming nothing intense or over clocking.

There is a fan on the front - top and back
But still sometimes the case is kinda hot

Even if I buy new fans I don't k know where should I put the exhaust and the intake ones.

There are 2 places for fans in the front - down - top and 1 at the back

It's always recommended to have the bottom and front of a case as intake and then the back and top as outtakes. As long as 2 fans of yours are intakes in the front or bottom and another 1 is the outtake in the back you don't need to worry.
