I have everything finalized in my build except the fan setup. I am very new to cooling and not quite sure how it works. I just wanted some general tips, or recommended fans for my H440 case. I also was curious if the current fan I have in the pcpartpicker will fit in the case. I will be overclocking the cpu, and the gpu comes superclocked.

A gtx 970 and a slightly overclocked CPU should be fine with the stock fans, though you could add top exhaust fans if you want. Also, what are you using your PC for? If it's for gaming, get an i5 4690k, as GPUs>CPUs in games and you can put the saved funds towards an SSD.

I have actually decided that I will be getting a gtx 970 rather than a 760 so will I need extra cooling for that? Also can somebody please answer my initial question? I would really like to know all of this as soon as possible.

This is rediculous. The first time I posted a question on this forum I got an immediate response and now nobody will respond no matter how many times I follow up. Can somebody please help me, I would truly appreciate it so much.

Thank you. I will look into some exhaust fans that I could buy. I am using this for gaming as well as video editing so the i7 processor is useful for me.
