Well in my opinion one can never have too many fans, especially not if you have control over their RPM, so you can adjust them to different situations with various needs. All of the coolers you have chosen I can recommend. Noctua makes some absolutely amazing products. The water-cooler from Corsair is very decent as well.

Perhaps a bit unsatisfying, but I feel your initial commitment is well reasoned.

As for GPU, buying an aftermarket cooler is, in my opinion, only necessary if you buy a reference card. If you buy one of the many 970 cards from Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, EVGA with "custom" coolers, it will be sufficient without additional investment. Especially if you have a good airflow in your case, which you will have with those Noctua...

Is a H630 case worth the extra $50?I mean airflow is going to be great I guess but i would love to hear your thoughts.And speaking of cooling,mwhich one do you think is better?(I din't care about price) noctua fans such as the ones in my builds VS NZXT Case Fan Cooling FN140-RB?

I'd say the Phanteks “ Enthoo Pro Series is better for the money. Both cases have good cooling installment options, and cable management availability.*

I cant really see the difference that would justify $50 more, unless you really fancy the looks of the H630. The only difference I can see, is that the front panels for the H630 has more options and more ports. That is not worth 50 dollars however. So if money is no concern, basically buy whatever of the two you like the most. Regarding fans, my opinion is that Noctua are the best on the market, if I can choose between X and Noctua, Noctua always wins. If you want to look at other cases, I can recommend Fractal Design, quality cases for a fair price - especially the Define-series.

* I dont know how familiar you are with the concept of cable-managing, but that concept is equally as important as quality and quantity of fans.

Cable-managing is basically trying to hid away as many cables as possible around the motherboard/GPU/CPU/Heatsink/PSU, so the optimal airflow is achieved. If there are cables everywhere, the airflow will be minimized and even sometimes inadequate.

There are countless videos on youtube and even multiple threads on this forum, which will explain how to cable-manage adequately.

Thanks alot I might take a look at fractal design I heard about some of their products on videos as sponsors once on one of linus tech's videos but I have to agree you have a point with the cases,I have to say I sure as hell am not the greatest when it comes to cable management but,excuse if I sound like an idiot here,if I get a bigger case like the H630 would that mean easier cable management and better airflow overall right?
