You need at least 2 intake and 2-3 exauhst fans. For example - my case has 2x120mm + 2x80mm fans as intake, and 3x120mm exhaust. My PSU is on the bottom , so it doesn't take or exhaust inside the case. I would recommend you this: if you can afford it - mount as many as you can. It doesn't worth it to shorten the life of your components only for saving some cash. By the way intake fans would be best to be on bottom and front , while exhaust on the back and top of the case. So in your case the cooling radiator and its fans work as exhaust.Before choosing how many fans to buy - check how many fans supports the motherboard.As you may not know fans come with 2 types of connectors 2pin /3pin connector and molex. Molex is power directly from...
