I'm just looking for opinions and anything I need to change. I'm getting a PC for editing and gaming. I have a setup but I feel like some stuff is messed up. The fans and the monitors are place holders. I'll choose the monitors myself but I need to know how many fans I'll need with my peices. Tell me any suggestions or changes. Let me know if something isn't compatible or if everything won't fit in the current case.

No Problem have fun with it. Oh yeah the fans..... you will know what will fit just by looking, but make sure you manage your push/pull with the fans. It could help with heat management a lot.
