I have a PC setup that I am fairly happy with, and now I am just running through some finally check-ins. The current question I have is: how many fans should I consider on this build? (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ZNJPJx) I plan on using the build for plenty of gaming, video and potentially recording/streaming at some point.

So, is the fan currently there good and how many should I have?
Thanks in advance!

With a 140mm intake and exhaust, you really don't have to add any fans. At the most maybe one more 120/140mm fan in one of the top positions if you feel you need to. But the more fans, the noisier it will be. The nice thing is that the case has an integrated fan controller that can control 3 fans if you want to turn them down.

If that case is like mine, you can put the front fan in one of two positions (or add another), By removing the middle drive bay, it would have direct air flow thru the case.
