I don't plan to overclock right at the start (aside from the already pre-overclocked stuff), but am thinking about doing it down the line. I am looking for advice on sufficient air cooling for the system. I would rather avoid water cooling if possible.
I plan to have a CM212 Evo for the CPU fan but unsure about the case fans. The case I plan to get has plenty of room for additional fans and come with a front 200 mm fan and rear 140 mm fan preinstalled. I am thinking of getting a fan for the bottom and another fan on top. Is this good or should I go for more?
I have been looking at Noctua's line of fans for this. Anyone has experience with the Redux line and how they perform compared to the standard lines? I'm specifically looking at these two:
Noctua NF-S12A PWM 120mm Case Fan

Noctua NF-P14s redux-1200 PWM, SSO Bearing Fan

Or otherwise, if you have another recommendation that is not bank breaking, it would be appreciated.
