Hi, I've chosen the BitFenix Shadow as my case for a new build. I don't intend on doing much with it. I'm not even planning on getting a graphics card. However, I do need help with what would be appropriate to keep my CPU and the inside of the case cool in general. Case has a bottom mount PSU. Two 120mm spots for intakes in the front, one 120mm spot for exhaust in the back, and one 120mm spot for intake on the bottom. Your thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Also not sure whether the OEM CPU heatsink will be sufficient. I do plan on getting a good motherboard and fast CPU (Probably Intel, I'll try them out for a change.)
I'm really hellbent on filling all 4 spots for the fans, I'm just concerned about turbulance being as I would have three 120mm fans coming in and only one 120 mm fans going out. Then again, I could just slow down the speeds of the intake fans if I needed to. I don't know. I'm a service tech by career but this one is personal, you know? I would like good airflow.
