Hello, so I decided to try to build my first PC and have been using websites like this to try to get a grasp of how to get the system up and running. I have figured out most of the main components and what I will use but am having difficulty understanding my cooling options. This PC will be used almost sololey for gaming so wanted to plan accordingly. Here is a list of my components.

Would using a fan controller (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811992005&cm_re=fan_controller-_-11-992-005-_-Product) with maybe 3 of these fans work? (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835553005)

Appreciate any feedback!

Your fan choice is ok for normal use. If your primary use is Gaming you want High speed fans moving as much
air as possible trough your case. You also want more exhaust than intake. Fans should be full on when gaming.
Turn them down when not. Fan controller would be ok. I use Scythe slip stream 1900 rpm 110cfm fans for exhaust
and Coolermaster R4 red led 1900 rpm 70cfm for intake. The fans you have chosen will work. But I believe in overkill
because I do not want not enough. Just my point of View.

Also you may want to add a cpu cooler. From a computer Tech an PC Builder's point of view they are not adequate
especially when stressing your cpu. A Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo. It wil do the job Right.
