I'm working on a custom build using this case: http://www.lian-li.com/en/dt_portfolio/pc-t60/
I've never worked with an open air case before so I'm looking for opinions regarding cooling. Here's what I have so far:
I'm looking at the Corsair H100i to take care of the CPU.
I'm sticking with the stock cooling on the GPU, which looks sufficient for non/mild-OC purposes (Gigabyte GTX 780 Windforce).
The RAM has heat spreaders, which from what I understand, is overkill for cooling RAM anyways unless I was planning to brutally OC it, which I'm not.
Question is - considering the open air nature of the case, I'm not even sure if I need generalized "chassis" fans for general cooling. Any ideas on this? The only thing that seems to be not covered would be various parts of the motherboard, and I honestly have no idea if those chips ever get hot enough to be worrying about.
If it's relevant, here are the rest of the system specs:

Thanks in advance for all replies
