Well I decided to go ahead and upgrade my build to a new case and gpu and now im trying to figure out how to setup the fans.

Front 2x140mm/ 120mm or 1x200mm
(1 x 200mm included)
Rear 1x140mm (included) / 120mm
Bottom 2x120mm
Side 1x140mm
Top 2x200mm/ 140mm or 3x120mm

Option 1


Option 2


Option 3


Also what fans in what locations would you use ?

EDIT: Also im running a noctua dh14 cpu cooler should i run it going out the back or going out the top ?

Run the Noctua NH-D14 going out the back.
I don't see any difference between Option 1 and 2 other than having the side fan. If you don't want to buy an extra fan, then option 1 is fine. If you plan to buy a fan, then go for Option 2 I guess. Don't do Option 3.
