So I finally found a case I really liked. It supports 5 total fans. 1 in the front, one on the side, one in the rear, and two on the top.

It comes installed with the front, side, and rear installed. 2 on the top are optional.

Would it help to order the two others? And if it is and I do I have two questions.

Will that motherboard support 5 fans?
and if it does, should the two up top exhaust hot air? Or bring in cold?

 
Solution
three fans are fine right now. the two top fans if you used a sealed h110i cooler is going to mount where those two fans go.
the tree fans should be fine. front fan pullling in and the rear fan going out. with more then 3 fans your better off using a fan controller.

So don't worry about getting two extras?
