Hello all, I've definitely been bitten by the pc building bug! I just ordered a pcu cooler, and plan on adding a few extra fans for premium airflow management. I don't, however, want to overload my 550 watt XFX Core edition pro psu with any unnecessary fans. My question is: will 6 fans total on my case (2 intake, 4 exhaust) be overkill? I want to add some good, quiet LED fans for extra flare and to make my system extra "cool".

Just incase its relevant here are my system specs:

-AMD Athlon X4 750K Trinity 3.4GHz
-Gigabyte Radeon R9 270x
-CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB Ram
-MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 FM2 mobo
-WD Caviar Black HDD 1tb
-ADATA 64gb SSD
-Optical drive
-XFX Core Edition PRO550W PSU
