Hey guys,

I'm planning on getting an NZXT H440 for my first ever build, but I'm not sure what fans to get. A lot of people are saying to stick with stock fans, but also there are people who think that it's better to replace the front fans with some SP fans, as well as a mish-mash of ideas about how to configure the fans.

So my question is: ARE the stock fans good enough? Will I need more fans? And should I wait until I've got my system set up to find out whether I need better airflow? Also is it easy to add/replace fans in that case after I've built the computer?

FYI my planned rig setup is: i7 4790K, Sabertooth Z87, Corsair AX760, EVGA GTX 780 Ti, 16GB RAM, 250GB SSD, 2TB HDD, Windows 8.1. I'll use it mostly for gaming, music recording and Photoshop (sister does graphic design). I don't plan on overclocking, but I do want it to be somewhat future proofed.

Any and all help you can give me will be much appreciated!

first of all, tht is a very good looking case.... now for ur prb i would suggest the buy the case first coz it already has 4 fans.... 3 on the front and one on the back.... if u feel the GPU or CPU or the hard disk is getting hot then change the fans....
