Hello everyone I am looking to start buying parts for my first pc build. I've decided on the Fractal Design R4 for my case and would like some advice about cooling for the case. I plan to get the one with the solid black side panel (with option to put in side fan)
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1seMW
CPU: Intel I5 4670k
Cooler: Noctua NH-D14
Mobo: Asus z87 Pro
Memory: G. Skill Ripjaws X (2x 4 gb)
HDD: Samsung 840 series 128 gb ssd
WD Caviar Black 1 tb hdd
Video Card: MSI GTX 760 2 gb
Case: Fractal Design R4 Pearl Black
PSU: Corsair HX 750 80 plus gold
Optical: Asus DRW-24B1ST DVD
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
My concern here is what number of aftermarket coolers should/must i get.
Once I put it together i intend to try and overclock (hoping the noctua should suffice for cpu cooling)
I may go SLI later but going for single GPU for now
What additional fans should i need? at stock, the Case comes with 2 Fractal R2 fans one in bottom front and one on top back I was thinking either switch the R2 back to the front to match and get an additional 2 fans for top back and rear top to have 2 intake and 2 exhaust. Would this suffice or should I put in an additional intake in the bottom for positive pressure (I've been reading that this is most effective).
Would this be adequate or is another configuration better. I'd like the build to be cool but would like it to be quiet as well.
Would also like recommendations in terms of what aftermarket fans you guys would recommend (I don't mind paying a bit extra for better quality quieter fans especially since i got my build under $1300)
Thanks in advance everyone!
