Hello there I have a quick question as of right now i have the money to buy a new motherboard because right now my motherboard only allows 1 chassis fan when i have 2 so cooling is okay but with the new motherboard the cooling will be better plus i kinda want to overclock.

My secon question is Should i get the new MOBO Now or wait until i have enough to buy the New MOBO and CPU? My cpu right now is doing alright but i wish to do some more streaming and the heatsink is fine but takes up a TON of Space which is why I will get the H100i but if i do that now before getting a new processor then the thermal paste on it will have been gone and i will have to use my own which people say they regret getting rid of Corsairs thermal paste.

So thats my predicament any help would be nice

EDIT: The wait for the new cpu and MOBO would be until Spetemberish

What is your current CPU and motherboard?
A system fan can be connected to the power supply with an adapter

Your motherboard and CPU are okay. Your motherboard supports up to an AMD FX8350 and your CPU can be overclocked.
I would just buy a converter to run your fan from the power supply.
