Hello.
As the title suggests, I'm looking for a couple of fans for my new build, but I'm not sure which ones I should get. I've heard that the original Haswell CPU cooler isn't that great and I've been suggested to buy a new one too.
I got a Fractal Design R4 case which has a 120mm slot in front, a 120mm slot on the side and 2 120/140mm slots in the top. I'm planning on placing fans on the side and both of the top slots.
Fans that have been suggested to me:
Side: Scythe 120mm gentle typhoon
Top: be quiet! ShadowWings SW1 140mm Mid speed
Here's a picture of the case:

And here are two pictures of my build:

My build:
2x ASUS GeForce GTX 680 2048MB DirectCUII
Intel i5 4670k
Corsair TX750 V2
Fractal Design R4 chassi
Z87-A Motherboard
2x 4GB Corsair Vengance CL9 1866Mhz RAM
[strike]As to the CPU Cooler I've been suggested a Noctua NH-D14, though I'm not really sure that it will fit on my MOBO.[/strike] Not compatible with my ram sticks.
I also got suggested a Cooler Master TX3 Evo which seems a bit smaller.
