Hi
I was just ordering my fans and MoBo , but I saw that the Asus M5A97 MoBo has only 2 fan connectors....so I want to know the best combo for a fx 8320 , GTX 750ti(maybe something better),M5A97 MoBo, corsair vs450 and a ram of 8 gigs.which is the best one-
2x120mm
1x120 mm , 1x200 mm
2x200 mm
Thanks :)

THe 2x200 solution will get you the most airflow with the least noise.

However if you want more fans, there are adapters that let you turn unused molex power connectors to support some fans without speed sensing.

There are also fan controllers that fit into external expansion bays, these can supply their own ports for fans that support speed sensing and throttling.
