Hello,
So I was just curious what would be better for my build, Static Pressure or Airflow? I currently want to get AF120 from Corsair, but then I was thinking about the SP120. For my build, what would you recommend?

I am planning on getting the new CPU from Haswell, New socket MB, and a NVIDIA 700 series when each of these comes out. I am getting the equivalent to a i7 3770k, but on the Haswell 4th Gen CPU's. This is my reason for not listing the the CPU, GPU, and MB. If you want to see the 3rd Gen ones that I had planned, let me know. Everything else I am finalized on.

Part List:

My main question is this: What is the best fans to go with from Corsair? SP120, or AF120?

Thanks for any help!
